Public bug reported:

libmyth seems to cause problems in a few different ways.

1) Since the name of the package is libmyth-0.23.0, when users want to
upgrade to 0.24, they need to either do a dist-upgrade or remove
libmyth-0.23.0 first. Otherwise they get a warning that they can only do
a partial upgrade (which isn't entirely true).

2) In some instances, libmyth-0.23.0 remains installed (I think this may
be fixed in newer builds). This causes issues with old stuff still being
installed and causes conflicts.


Why is this package named with the 0.23.0 on it unlike any of the other mythtv packages? Why don't we name it simply 'libmyth' and then it won't be a hassle to upgrade to the new version?
