I do not think it is misleading at all. Calling it "live-usb-creator" would just add confusion as it can be used to write debian-installer ISOs as well, which clearly are not live CDs. >> I don't believe the name is misleading when read together with short >> description or with long description. > > Having a clear short description is not a valid reason to keep that > name, IMO.

I don't think you can encapsulate what this program does in the package name alone. Equally, Evolution isn't packaged as evolution-mail-client, despite "evolution" telling you nothing about what it does. So why should we apply this new rule to just usb-creator? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
