[Bug 161126] Re: Package name misleading

[David Stansby]

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: ddrescue
  
  ddrescue (provided in the package gddrescue) and dd_rescue are different pieces of software.
  The package name should reflect which of these applications is installed as the current naming is confusing.
  
  apt-get install ddrescue does not install ddrescue (from gddrescue) but
  dd_rescue.
  
  Even dd-rescue would be a better name.
  
  Ideally  dd_rhelp
  (http://www.kalysto.org/utilities/dd_rhelp/index.en.html) should be
  included with dd_rescue.
  
- maybe ddrescue could be a virtual package which depends on gddrescue,
+ maybe ddrescue could be a meta-package which depends on gddrescue,
  dd_rescue and dd_rhelp thus providing a variety of options for
  attempting data recovery.
