Thanks for the comments, I'll make it a transitional package when the libraries are removed. > PS: is it just me who always reads it as "lib-recad" rather than > "libre-cad"? 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]!!
