Package: perlmagick
Version: 7:6.6.0.4-2
Severity: wishlist
User: ansgar at 2008.43-1.org
Usertags: perl-naming-policy

The Debian Perl Policy asks for packages for the Foo::Bar module to be
named libfoo-bar-perl [1].  The current package name

  perlmagick

does not adhere to this policy.  Please consider renaming the package
to make it easier for users to find it and to use a consistent naming
policy in Debian.

See also the discussion on debian-devel [2] for suggested package
names.

Regards,
Ansgar
