Please answer to the bug letting the reporter of the bug know about your intention to package the library. Moreover, please take over ownership of the bug and change it's title to "ITP: jsoncpp -- An easy to use, well made C++ json library". Please see [1] to learn how to do that. > In addition, if you follow the link you will see that the library is > called "jsoncpp".

Not all zlib1g is a counter example (although that's a very old library following a naming scheme not used anymore). Libraries have a very strict naming schema, typically the name is lib<libraryname><soversion. Please use the following hacky script to determine the correct name of your library: objdump -p /path/to/libfoo-bar.so.1.2.3 | \ sed -n -e's/^[[:space:]]*SONAME[[:space:]]*//p' | \ sed -e's/\([0-9]\)\.so\./\1-/; s/\.so\.//' Also, our policy has a lot of resources about libraries [2], and there is a library packaging guide [3]. Some people consider the latter not really helpful though. Finally, please note a library is not the best package to start with Debian. Don't hesitate to do it nonetheless, but packaging (or rather: maintaining) a library is challenging.
