Might I suggest a different package name, e.g. 'ntop-ng'?

At a glance, 'ntopng' reads to me as "N-to-PNG", along the lines of
existing file-format converter programs. While it's not absolutely
necessary to avoid that, if there's no real downside to doing so,
it might be a good idea.

Good point about the double interpretation, I did not think about it.
However, given that there is no real conflict, I would like to keep
the name as close as possible to upstream.

Just to be clear, making sure we're on the same page:

I'm certainly not proposing changing the name of the actual program; I'm
only proposing changing the name of the package.

For comparison, a program which upstream calls 'calc' is available in
the package name 'apcalc', even though there is no package named 'calc'.
(I don't recall whether or not there used to be.)

If that would also be too much of a change from upstream to suit your
preferences, then fair enough.
