Hello!
Thanks for everything you do! I was taking a look through some packages for Debian and I came upon libkchart-dev. The Source, Homepage, and package contents are for KChart which is from KDE and part of the KDiagram libraries. I'm writing to you because the Description for the package comes from KD Chart (not Charts in the Description) which is from [KDAB](https://www.kdab.com/software-technologies/developer-tools/kd-chart/) and [MIT-licensed](https://github.com/KDAB/kdchart) while KDE's KChart is GPLv2.
Is the intention to have packages for KDE's KChart, KDAB's KD Chart, or both (with separate names of course)? If both, I think libkdchart-dev makes sense for the KDAB library. While the names are extremely close, I think accurately reflecting the Description fields and other metadata would go a long way to keeping confusion to a minimum.
Please feel free to let me know if I can do anything to help! Thanks again!
Best,
Rick
