What, you mean like jpeg?

or tiff?

:-)

Here's a reason for you to consider:
putting "libldns" into google, comes up with debian packages as first
hit. Whereas googling "ldns" comes up with the proper site.


similarly, googling "drill" is virtually useless.
but googling "ldns drill" is good and helpful.
Whereas even "libldns drill" is not as good.

So keying things more to "ldns" instead of "libldns" (with the
exception of the actual shared libraries package) seems like the
better thing for us to have the catalog names based on.

Sorry to say also, even if we were to agree on your slant of naming,
you should repackage a little anyway:  our devel packages all use
_devel, not "devel" recently. so libldnsdevel sticks out rather badly
:(
