I will probably go with this option. If one really needs the libpgsbox, I would create a completely new source package (with the same upstream tar), and just pack the pgsbox stuff. So, I would get the following packages: wcslib ....... source package libwcs4 ...... shared library wcslib-dev ... static library and header wcslib-doc ... API documentation wcslib-tools . tools built with wcslib My question is not the naming of the binary packages. The original library is called "wcslib", and to maximize confusion, there exists somewhere else another (not compatible, less used) library for the same task, called "libwcs", which is part of a "wcstools" package. To avoid naming confusion, I would like to name all packages "wcslib"; however lintian doesn't like my idea to call the shared library package "wcslib4". Can/should I ignore this warning since I have a reason to do so? I found some other packages (namely zlib1g) where the package name does not match the soname. And if I shall use "libwcs4"; should I then also use "libwcs-dev", "libwcs-doc" and "libwcs-tools" for the other binary packages?
