Hi. Do you think there is still any point to avoid using 'bingo' here?
There is no naming clash. While we could rename this source and/or
binary package, the Go team naming policy is to use the upstream name,
which is 'bingo', and I can't see that there will ever be any conflict
with your 'libbingo*' namespace here.

So my preference is to go with the Go naming guideline here. Let me
know if you still think it would be useful to avoid 'bingo' here. I
plan to upload to NEW shortly.
I did not have time to look into src:indigo. Thus feel free to upload
src:bingo if it does not interfere with bin:libbingo*. It is unlikely
src:indigo will interfere with the namespace you are intending to take.
Per [1], bingo is described as "Chemistry search engine for Oracle,
Microsoft SQL Server and PostgreSQL databases", thus it is unlikely
there will ever be a need for /usr/bin/bingo.
Best,
