squeeze and epwutils both ship a "squeeze" binary

Squeeze (the archive manager) is the package name, the binary name, the library name, and most important the software name). Having to rename it is a pain because users know it by this name and not by a name like, say squeeze-archiver or something like that. OTOH, squeeze (the archive manager) just entered the archive while squeeze (the dict files compressor) is there since a long time. popcon shows few users for epwutils (and a bit fewer for squeeze) so renaming wont touch too many people in either case: http://preview.tinyurl.com/39363v (sorry for this, I don't think there's a way to have shorts url in popcon.php so I used tinyurl). Do you think renaming squeeze to squeeze-dict (or something like that) will be painful? I'm CC:ing -devel as per policy.

fyi: vcs-pkg.org
Hi fellow Debian people, noticing all the recent discussions about sourcev2/v3, git.tar.gz, and other VCS-related stuff, I thought I could get away with dropping a quick pointer to http://vcs-pkg.org, which I hope can become a central resource for the topics we're discussing. Also, if you would cc [EMAIL PROTECTED] on any VCS+packaging issues that come up on this list (or take your discussions there instead, if they're not really relevant to this list), it would be highly appreciated. PS: non-Git stuff welcome, too.

JSCoverage is a tool used to measure code coverage in JavaScript programs. JSCoverage has two components: 1. An executable program which is used to add instrumentation to JavaScript code. 2. A web application which is used to execute instrumented code and generate a code coverage report.

Now that armel is becoming official, could someone involved with the port please look at updating the info about the port on the website [1] in the run-up to Lenny?
