Debian CLI Policy (DRAFT)
Chapter 3 - Library Package Naming


Most other languages have unified names for library/plugins/module packages in Debian, which makes it easier for users and maintainers. Perl for example uses libfoo-perl, Java uses also libfoo-java. For CLI libraries (CIL bytecode) libfoo-cil should be used, e.g. libgecko-cil. The term "sharp" does not represent the language, a CLI library can be used with all CLI implemented/enabled languages like C#, J#, ASP.NET, VB.NET (click here for the full list), this is why the extension "-cil" is the right one.
