I am not suggesting a rename of the library itself (although THAT would be the best option in the long term). I am asking for a rename of the *Debian package*, only. Users would still easily find it, provided that you add "libtrng" and "trng" in the full description somewhere to ease searching. Besides, it is a library: maintainers will find it easily enough to add as a dependency, and our automated find-the-library-package scripts (such as auto-apt and friends) do NOT rely upon the package name or descriptions at all, instead they look for lib<foo> in the *filesystem contents* of the packages. So, please consider renaming the *PACKAGE* to tinarng. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them. One disk to bring them all and in the darkness grind them.
