Thanks for the comments, I'll make it a transitional package when the
libraries are removed.

I actually thought the same thing (and got that comment on the ITP
bug), but the existence of libreoffice maybe makes it a little more
palatable as a name. Funny thing is that it uses the LibreDWG library
(which is the libredwg package), which actually is a lib... it's
SONAME and package name will be libredwg, and the the LD flag will be
-lredwg [1]!!

Cheers,
Scott
