Bug Description

Binary package hint: python-cloudservers

The name 'python-cloudservers' suggests a more generic purpose than the description states:
  "Python bindings for Rackspace's Cloud Servers"

I'd like to see this package renamed for the Lucid release to 'python-rackspace-cloudservers'
to reflect that this is a rackspace specific library, similar to 'libnet-amazon-s3-perl' for
amazon.

Thanks,

--Jos

Soren is stuck in an airport by volcano smoke so he won't be able to fix this. I'll do it tomorrow if nobody beats me to it.

It does, which is why I accepted it into the distro. The point is valid though and it would be nice if upstream addressed it.

why python-rackspace-cloudservers and not python-cloudservers-rackspace?

No idea. I wasn't involved in the renaming.
