(subversion-perl, > plplot-ada, xen-ocaml, etc) I suspect the guideline is meant to regularise the current situation. libguestfs packages a lot of language bindings, so I have an interest in this. Currently all the bindings use <language>-guestfs or similar, *except* for the Java one. > But doesn't this guideline refer to naming the base package, not > sub-packages? Does it need clarifying further? The situation with packages like plplot, libguestfs, etc is they ship their own language bindings as subpackages -- the language bindings are not separate packages. But I think it's still best to proceed with naming as if they were separate packages, to minimize end-user confusion. It could need clarifying further.
