Bug#1055885: workflow: Package name too generic, please pick something more specific

2023-11-29 Thread Lin Qigang

Hello,

"workflow" is a very generic name for a Debian package. In scientific 
computing there are over 340 workflow systems[0].


Perhaps this source package would better be named "sogou-workflow" and 
the binary packages likewise renamed "libsogou-workflow-dev", etc..


I would be fine with altering the package name to be more specific. I 
have found some documentation on the process [1], but some help with 
this would be nice. Also, I will need someone to grant me permissions to 
upload the package with a new name.
