I don't see why library may not have a descriptive name instead of a short
and cryptic one.

And the debian package name follows the name of the library it contains.
Which is by its pkg-config name: PosixSignalManager

Yes, some may find that ugly and long, but it's the libraries name, and
discussions on if that name is good should be held upstream.

I'm not aware of any debian policy the package name might violate.

Also this is a upload to package that recently entered testing but did not
build for various release architectures due to tests build on amd64 centric
assumptions, which should now be fixed. I think it's important to try to
help debian to offer packages on as many architectures as feasable.

Given how near we are in the release cycle to the freeze for new packages
to enter testing i agree that **if** the name needs changing it is more
feasable to do that targeting bookworm+1, but i still think that the
name is fine.
