Bug#863030: Do not encode soversion in source and dev package name


From: Michael Biebl
Subject: Bug#863030: Do not encode soversion in source and dev package name

Source: libidn2-0
Version: 0.16-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

the upstream source tarball is named libidn2_$(version).
Afaics, you encoded the soversion "0" into that name, resulting in
Source: libidn2-0

This is quite unusual and not how (library) packages are handled in
Debian.

The same is true for the -dev package. This package should typically
*not* include the soversion.

Please consider renaming the source package to
Source: libidn2 so it reflects the upstream name
and the dev package to
Package: libidn2-dev

Regards,
Michael
