[Pkg-pascal-devel] name for fpc debian helper function

Hi all,

I am working on a helper function for our packages that helps to fix the
timestamps in ppu files. The main feature is that it will touch the
source files with the timestamp of the first time that we change that
file in Debian (as stored in a file in the ~/debian tree). It also
features two auxiliary functions to update and to check the timestamp
file with respect to the patches in ~/debian/patches/.

Now my question is: do you have inspiration of how to call this function?

I was thinking of debcal (from DEBian pasCAL concatenation, as well as
from DEBian package ppu timstamp CALculator) but I miss the feeling that
it connected to the Free Pascal stack in Debian.

Other ideas (but longer) are like: fpc_ppu_timestamp_corrector,
fpc_update_timestamps, fpc_fix_ppu_timestamps or similar, but they don't
have any vibe.

Suggestions more than welcome.

Paul
