Bug#692245: #692245 worng soname, worng lib name and all lowercase, many games externaly precompile fails in debian

[PICCORO McKAY Lenz]

currently only one packages need libbox2d in wheeze, this are very very
important due Your library package is meaningless if not compile extra
software once any user have instaled debian (wheeze in the future case), as
it is very very older (and currently unussefully) and not good for any game
that is based on the package

the PiperWar(sites.google.com/site/piperwar) game compilation or
inclusively packagin its impossible for me if deban not update their
obsolete box2d libs.. so must use it the build-in

constructor its impossible for compiling with debian own box2d lib due are
very obsolete, so use it the build-in, this option its not funny so for
what its th debian box2d library?

games like "Orb-7" use it, if i wan to make a port for linux, it cant'n due
debian cannot offers me a decent box2d engine..,

another problem, if i wish to request to love project ( on bitbucket)
implement system's box2d event built-in, it cant due debian box2d its
unusefully

I'd recommend that you must urgency update upstream version before the new
debian release, as the library version currently is totally unussefully for
any game base on it,

and theres no reverse depends with the only exception of numptyphysics, if
u need more info can join into solognu veenux project where we concentrate
in games and we know about packaging gamming on linux

i think that packager must have some relationship with software that are
packagin. but i hope u make a good job and made something for wheeze!
