Bug#694418: Fwd: Bug#694418: ITP: fits -- Java library for the I/O handling of FITS files

["Steffen Möller" <steffen_moeller@gmx.de>]

Hello,

 
as ole already mentioned the source package name is far too generic. 

I'm not familiar with java packaging policies, but I would also expect 
nom.tam to appear somewhere in the package name or description. 
It would make it clear on first sight which java fits library it is. 

I coudl not find Ole's email or any other, but I just looked at
http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/heasarc/fits/java/v1.0
and from there I would think that
libfits-java
would be fine. An alternative would possibly be
libnasa-fits-java
but in my perception this would overdo it. There is
qfits-tools, python3-pyfits, libcfitsio3, libastro-fits-cfitsio-perl, fitscheck and tcl-fitstcl
already in the archive.

I am also with pkg-java. My suggestion would be to leave it with debian-science, though. If sponsoring is not yet settled, feel free contacting me.

Many greetings

Steffen
