There is a rule in gem2deb transforming '_' into '-' exactly for the purpose of simplifying the names, and having a consistent convention for the symbols separating parts of the name of a package. I think it is limited to that (and removing extra ruby suffix/prefix) because we didn't encounter yet a "creative" upstream proposing names with double hyphens. My understanding is that the name is already long enough and a double hyphen would bring no additional value. It would be also the first binary package with a double hyphen! On a similar naming theme, I think that the repository itself should be renamed to have the ruby- prefix (as the binary package). There is already several rails-assets packages, and all of them have the ruby- prefix. Note that the Vcs-* lines in debian/control have the ruby- prefix and atm point to an uncorrect location. On a more general note, these rails-assets-* packages are often very small (~100 lines of javascript and a bit less of Ruby glue code). Wouldn't it make more sense to provide a more global package, which would bundle them, or at least grouped by type of functionality (jquery, markdown-it,...)? Cédric
