Bug#645461: Please consider renaming to perl-dbg to match the naming convention elsewhere in the archive

Package: perl-debug
Severity: minor

Every other debugging package in Debian uses the convention of appending
-dbg to the package name.  Only perl-debug uses the suffix "-debug":

~$ aptitude search '?name(-dbg$)' | wc -l
1649
~$ aptitude search '?name(-debug$)'
p   perl-debug                      - debug-enabled Perl interpreter

Please consider renaming perl-debug to perl-dbg.

Thanks,
Josh Triplett
