Hi,

the Debian Perl Policy asks for packages for the Foo::Bar module to be
named libfoo-bar-perl [1].  Some packages do not adhere to this scheme:

  opalmod               → libopal-perl
  gnuift-perl           → libgnuift-perl
  perl-mapscript        → libmapscript-perl
  perl-tk               → libtk-perl
  speedy-cgi-perl       → libspeedy-cgi-perl
  exactimage-perl       → libexactimage-perl
  perl-ifeffit          → libifeffit-perl
  rplay-perl            → librplay-perl
  nfqueue-bindings-perl → libnfqueue-perl
  perlmagick            → libimage-magick-perl

(dd-list attached below; the list is based on data from Feb 23 [2])

I believe these modules should be renamed to have a consistent naming
scheme in Debian instead of using a prefix "perl-" or omitting the "lib"
for some packages.

Unless there are objections I will file bugs of severity "normal" in a
few days for these packages.

Regards,
Ansgar
