I have a script that uses aptitude to produce an aptfoster like list,
Aptitude gave out a truncated version of your package name. Reportbug
also only got as far as libaqbanking-plugins-libgw in an 80 column
screen.

I admit that the package name is quite long, but it's not too long (thus severity wishlist). At least I find no restrictions besides the minimum of 2 characters concerning the length of a package name, neither in the Debian Policy nor in the Debian Developer's Reference. So I see no technical reason why I shouldn't. Thus I wouldn't consider this a bug at all and tend to close this report if you do not contradict.

Since I didn't find any shorter but yet unambiguous package name I choosed this name. If you suggest an alternative that I like I'll consider renaming the package - but I don't promise to do so.

Since you gave no details on how you call aptitude I can only guess what could help to solve your problem (if appropriate):

- use -F %p for displaying the package name only

- use -w <width> with a value greater than 88

I hope that helps.

Greetings
  Micha
