Perhaps I was missunderstood in my latest mail to Debian Med list[1] but
I was not talking about *we* as in Debian should rename but rather
suggest *upstream* (strongly) to rename their files. Upstream should
know what needs to be changed properly and this would not be the only
change of some interface for a good purpose. So I can not see any
reason why we should stop teaching upstream.
Kind regards
Andreas.
