Lintian tag: library-package-name-for-application
Type: information
Description (from lintian-explain-tags
)
This package contains a program in $PATH but is named like a library. E.g.
instead of libfoo-bar-perl it should be named just foo-bar.
People tend to skip library-like named packages when looking for
applications in the package list and hence wouldn't notice this package.
See the reference for some (not perl-specific) reasoning.
In case the program in $PATH is only a helper tool and the package is
primarily a library, please add a Lintian override for this tag.
Please refer to
https://perl-team.pages.debian.net/policy.html#Package_Naming_Policy for
details.
