[DebianGIS-dev] Bug#575934: perl-mapscript: package name does not adhere to naming policy for Perl modules

[ansgar at 2008.43-1.org]

Package: perl-mapscript
Version: 5.6.1-1
Severity: wishlist
User: ansgar at 2008.43-1.org
Usertags: perl-naming-policy

The Debian Perl Policy asks for packages for the Foo::Bar module to be
named libfoo-bar-perl [1].  The current package name

  perl-mapscript

does not adhere to this policy.  Please consider renaming the package
to make it easier for users to find it and to use a consistent naming
policy in Debian.

See also the discussion on debian-devel [2] for suggested package
names.

Regards,
Ansgar
