In addition to what Clint said, I would resommend to change the name to
something like "su2-pde" or "su2-toolkit" or "su2-pde-toolkit".
The reasoning is:
1) It's not obvious to a casual observer that "su2" is really su^2
meaning SUU meaning "Stanford University Unstructured" (WTF is this
last word when it comes to name a software package anyway)?
2) There's a tool named "su" which usage is kind of ubiquitous
on systems of the Unix ilk, including Debian. So I would say "su2"
will be perceived by may as something improving on that venerable
"su" utility (like "su 2.0") rather than being something completely
unrelated.
