It is OK IMHO to have iemnet use the names as the mrpeach objects as  
long as the stated goal is interface compatibility.  But I think this  
packaging idea is just added complication without and real benefit.  A  
library is a library in Debian from what I have seen.  I've never seen  
this kind of arrangement for libraries in Debian, so I think it would  
be a bad idea to start it with Pd.
