[Python-modules-team] Bug#780915: python-rgain: Hard to find the package when searching for a standalone ReplayGain calculating program

[Paweł Kraśnicki]

Package: python-rgain
Version: 1.3.3-1
Severity: wishlist

About a year ago, I was looking for a program that would calculate ReplayGain for files in various formats. I haven't found any, so I wrote my own. Recently, I came across this package and found out that it contains a script that does exactly what I wanted.

It would be nice if this package was easier to find when searching for such a command. My suggestion is to create a virtual package named "replaygain" pointing to this one, and change the package description of python-rgain like so:
-This package provides a Python package to calculate the Replay Gain values of audio files and normalize the volume of those files according to the values. Two basic scripts exploiting these capabilities are shipped as well.
+This package provides a Python package to calculate the Replay Gain values of audio files and normalize the volume of those files according to the values.

+It also contains 2 scripts exploiting these capabilities:
+  - replaygain: calculates the Replay Gain of files in a variety of formats and writes it to file tags,
+  - collectiongain: calculates the Replay Gain of a music collection, with caching.
