[Pkg-openldap-devel] time to change the source package name?

Hi folks,

I realized, after I'd finished uploading openldap2.3 2.4.10-1, that I
completely botched the orig.tar.gz preparation by doing it by hand instead
of using the get-orig-source target; so we have stray schema files in the
tarball in the archive that should've been pruned.

Since that means rolling a new tarball anyway, I wonder whether this
wouldn't be an opportune time to change the source package name to
'openldap'?  There are only 7 open bugs remaining on the 'openldap2.3'
source package (as opposed to the binary packages), which seems like a
perfectly manageable number to have to munge by hand following the package
name change; and that sidesteps having to create a bogus upstream version
number to get a unique .orig.tar.gz file.

Thoughts?

Cheers,
