Subject: Re: [SemiOT] Concerning package names

I think perhaps the point being for in the Ruby-centric repositories
for libraries to not be named sqlite-ruby or ruby-sqlite as it is. 
Talk about confusing, that example kills me.  I don't think that
anyone would argue with it being named ruby-sqlite or ruby-mysql, etc,
in the Debian repositories?
