Should -dbg packages be renamed or not? I don't see any reason to rename the -dbg packages, generally. > 2. Shouldn't the suffix be c2a in this case? Yes, it should. If the package was being renamed because of an soname change, then there'd be no need for the c2a; but since the package is being renamed *only* because of the C++ ABI change, being consistent is important because there way be other packages in the wild named libatlas-cpp-0.6-0c2 which *aren't* using the final mt allocator ABI.
