Check-Script: application-not-library
Author: Axel Beckert <abe@debian.org>
Type: binary
Needs-Info: unpacked
Info: application packaged like a library (imported from pkg-perl-tools)
Tag: libapp-perl-package-name
Severity: important
Certainty: possible
Info: This package contains a program in $PATH and is named
libapp-*-perl which usually implies that the upstream project on CPAN
is under the App:: hierarchy for applications. Instead of
libfoo-bar-perl it should be named foo-bar.
.
People tend to skip library-like named packages when looking for
applications in the package list and hence wouldn't notice this
package.

Severity: normal

Experimental: yes
Info: This package contains a program in $PATH but is named like a
library. E.g. instead of libfoo-bar-perl it should be named just
foo-bar.

Info: This package contains a binary in $PATH but is in a section just
thought for libraries. It likely should be in another section like
e.g. utils, text, devel, misc, etc., but not in e.g. perl, ruby or
python.
