Romain,

Thanks for the quick response.  Lintian complained that package name 
didn't match SONAME.  Because the soname is libticonv.so.2, Debian 
expects the package naming to be libticonv2 afaiui.  Of course, I am not 
the worlds greatest library packager by any stretch.  My intent is 
really to package up TiLP2.

Thanks again!
