So, the package is caleld mopac7-1.00, the library libmopac7.so.0.0.0.

I am not sure I brought this up before, but as I was just about to
upload those to Debian, I wanted to ask (again maybe):

What's the thing about mopac7?  Is the '7' part of the name, or just a
version number.  As in, was there a mopac6 earlier?  If yes, shouldn't
the package be named mopac-7.00 (or mopac-7.1 or mopac-8.0 or
something)?  Or is this some kind of interface/implementation API
version?


just curious, the multiple version numbers look odd to me,
