Package: vorbis-tools
Version: 1.0.1-1.1
Severity: minor
Tags: upstream

In the vorbis-tools, several commands are named ogg{something}, but work
not on every ogg file, but only on ogg vorbis ones. The only accurately
named commands are vcut, vorbiscomment and ogginfo. oggdec, oggenc and
ogg123 should be respectively named vorbisdec, vorbisenc and vorbis123.

Package name should also become ogg-vorbis-tools, as it provides
commands for ogg files *and* vorbis streams.

As there is only one small command for ogg files, I don't know if it
would be valuable to have ogg-tool(s) and vorbis-tools separately. And
99.99% of the users that will use ogginfo on another ogg file than just
ogg vorbis will probably use it on an ogg vorbis/theora one, so having
vorbis tools with the ogg one seems no harm.

Manpages that explain the naming change, and the new commands targeted
by symlinks from the old ones should prevent problems when doing the
transition.
