Hi Emmanuel,

thanks for your work on camitk packaging.  I would like to bring some
issue to your attention.

The role of a flagship application certainly rectifies a better name
than libcamitk-tools.  However, we do have the imp4 package inside
Debian which is totally unrelated and might cause of confusion because
users with no medical imaging background might confuse this with imp
known from horde framework[1].  So if any possible I would advise for a
more verbose package name (imp-camitk / camitk-imp or something like
this - my phantasy in finding good names is limited but you might have
got the idea).

Regarding the binary name it seems that /usr/bin/imp is not yet given to
any application but having three letter names for binaries is usually
asking for name space conflicts at some point in time.  So while
technically it is possible I would like to let you know this to take
this into consideration.

Kind regards

      Andreas.
