Hi, Please CC me -- I am not subscribed.
I am in the process of packaging the X driver for the IVTV cards[0] and I'm wondering about the correct source package name. It seems that the upstream source is named xf86-video-FOO[1] and that is repacked for Debian as xserver-xorg-video-FOO[2]. Is there a particular reason for this? I've tried searching the debian-x archives but I can't see it. I have xf86-video-ivtvdev_0.10.6.orig.tar.gz and I'm wondering if I should repack/rename it before upload (well, before searching for a sponsor ;-)). In any case the binary package will be xserver-xorg-video-ivtv as you would expect. Thanks for your advice, Ian.
