Hello,

I'd like to ask why libnglib has no SONAME and instead encodes the
full upstream version number in the binary package name.  This is
causing the package to hit binary-NEW with every upstream release.

This seems especially pointless given that there are no rdepends on
sid, so far as I can tell.

Also, an ftptrainee noticed that d/copyright does not account for
debian/, ng/Togl-1.7 and ng/Togl2.1.  Do the copies of Togl make it
into the binary packages, or are they only used in the build process,
or what?

Thanks.
