If I'm not mistaken, the files in /usr/share/Publican are
architecture-independent shared libraries, perhaps not libraries in
the sense of programming languages like C or Python, but still
libraries.

Would you agree that we discuss this with people from Debian Policy
and fellow Debian developers on the appropriate mailing lists?  I
understand that upstream uses an uppercase, but for me it would be
preferable to be Debian compliant, and if the wording is unclear, to
improve the policy.
