Hi other Michael, Hm, in retrospect, I absolutely agree with Paul, libgnome-games-support or libgnome-games would indeed have been better names. I don't want to change it at this point, though, because it's been packaged by several other distros (Fedora, openSUSE, Arch) for roughly a year now, all of which chose to name the package libgames-support. I'd prefer to keep the upstream name in sync with these downstreams, and I think it's unlikely that another project would want to use this name. I think it's reasonable for Debian to use a different package name if it prefers, but do consider the value in matching all the other distros. Also, although I don't expect non-GNOME games to use the library, it might be a good option for non-GNOME games that use GTK+ 3. Hope that works for you, Michael
