> Tab is a typesetter for lute tablature for renaissance and baroque lutes and theorboes, in both French and Italian notation. You edit a plain text file with special commands to enter the lute tablature, then you run tab to convert that input into PostScript output that you can print or display with the right program.

It's quite unfortunate that for upstream has decided to call their
binary "tab", which is a quite generic word that one might not directly
associate with lute tablature. That said, apparantly there is no other
binary in Debian yet that has dared to call itself "tab", so I guess it
is free. But could you at least name your package lute-tab instead of tab?
