I don't think that's too picky.

The name is what is produced by the Debian packaging tools.  I didn't
specify the name anywhere, and I always use ooRexx not oorexx.  The
packaging tools change it to oorexx and the packaging tools also introduce
the underscore.  I looked and it seemed, to me, to be the convention for the
naming of all .deb packages.

The only thing I changed, was to add the debian and ubuntu portion,
otherwise there was no way to distinguish between the two.  The name
produced by the packaging tools is the same for both packages.

I am sure if I had changed the name, some Debian fanatic would complain
about the ooRexx .deb packages not being consistent with Debian
conventions.  <grin>  I would prefer that ooRexx followed our own internal
conventions, and whole-heartedly agree that ooRexx should be used not
oorexx.
