This was the old standard when packages names where not to have "-" in
the names.

This was the newer standard after inclusion of "-" had been relaced.

This never was a standard.

This is the latest standard.

Personally I prefer something with a "-" in there to cleanly
separate stem and extension, but I have no strong opinion on
-dev/-devel, although I also prefer the shorter -dev leaving more
room for package names and being consistent with other distributions.
And: After we fixate this now this is not going to be changed until
*all* misnamed packages have been fixed or dropped, ok?


Best regards
