Just a fly by shed color thought. If we in the future want to add more generic debug tools (for example something like xev that is a bit more nice than "WAYLAND_DEBUG=1 weston-terminal |& grep -e '[insert complex expression here]'") then maybe "wayland-tools" or "wayland-utils"? Then again "wayland-info" is nice because it sounds more like a "read-only" thing than "-tools" and "-utils".
