Bug#447546: libgnomeui-0: Strange package name

[Michael Biebl]

Package: libgnomeui-0
Version: 2.20.1.1-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

according to lintian, the binary package should follow the soname and be
libgnomeui-2-0. Another possible name would be libgnomeui2-0, which
would be more in line with the current practice of naming gnome libs.

But libgnomeui-0 is definitely weird. Would you consider a rename or
provide reasons why the current naming was chosen?

Cheers,
Michael
