Hi.  There was a discussion on #fink a week or so ago about what package
names to use when the shared libraries are incidental rather than a central
function of the package in question.  The suggestion being discussed was
that there could be two naming conventions:

  foo, foo-shlibs, and foo-bin  when the libraries are the main point
  foo-headers, foo-shlibs, and foo  when the binaries are the main point
                                    (and the libraries are incidental)

I have made an example package for the second kind: a splitoff package
for mysql which I have just put into the splitoffs directory in the
shared-libraries module.  Any comments about my packaging of this example,
or about naming conventions in general, would be most welcome.
