hi folks,

i'm trying to (re)package uml for debian, what works fine so far. the
ony problem is that "uml" is by far to generic to be used in debian, so
i would have to rename it. some questions:
- what do you think of "uml-modeler"? (still generic, but better)
- do you have any other ideas? naming suggestion?
- don't you think it might be a good idea for you to change the name
  too? "uml" is really bad, and it's easier to change when the project
  is still young
- it's very hard to actually do the rename, since "uml" is scattered all
  over makefiles, sources and so on. any recommendations?
- when i have to rename the package for debian alone, i will
  make a patch that makes is easier to select a name for the software. i
  would be happy if you could incorporate that patch into your code,
  because it doesn't cost you anything, makes life much easier for me,
  and offers the possibility to change the name easily for you as well.
  would that be ok?
