The only package names that are different in the Debian packages are the libqgis* binary packages. To conform to the shared library changes in Policy 3.9.4 I chose to split the libqgis2.X.Y package into separate binary packages for each library, with each package name matching the library SONAME. The symbols files assist in generating dependencies on the specific library package(s) required, which is cleaner than e.g. depending on libqgis2.X.Y just for libqgis-annotation2.X.Y.so. Manually handling the dependencies on libqgis is easier when all libraries are in the same package, but when we let dpkg handle the dependencies splitting the libraries into separate packages is easier. You do get the burden of maintaining the symbols files, but the pkgkde-symbols helper makes this relatively easy. Symbols for C++ libraries remain a bit problematic, so even though I would like upstream to adopt these changes too, I don't expect that to happen. All my changes diverging from upstream where made to get policy compliant and lintian clean qgis packages. While qgis is not entirely lintian clean, all major issues are addressed.
