Package: libbdd-dev
Version: 2.4-6
Severity: wishlist

Hello,

It struck me that the name libbdd is quite generic. Despite the fact
that there are not other bdd libraries in debian at the moment, in my
opinion a better name for this library would be libbuddy . I'm asking
this "strange" question for two reasons. First I've almost finished an
ocaml binging for libbuddy ( :) ) and it would be rather obvious to call
it ocaml-buddy (or ocaml-buddybdd) instead of ocaml-bdd . Second because
I intend to open a ITP for CUDD BDD [1] and I'd like to name it
accordingly libcudd . It would be great if we could use the same name
convention for all bdd related packages. As a first step, would you
consider renaming the library object itself as libbuddy and to leave the
package as it is until I finish to package libcudd (plus a sym link to
for backward compatibility) ? What you think ?
