WhyTheName
a bit tangential, while this is cute, what I&#x27;ve never been able to find is a definitive digestible guide to the final Debian package names. what does -dev -doc etc. really mean? (I often need a -dev package for stuff I&#x27;m not even building for some reason) why do some libs tack on a &#x27;lib&#x27; at the front while some do not? why are package versions often seemingly unrelated to upstream versions? and sometimes packages come is multiple versions (like GCC) and yet often they don&#x27;t.. seemingly randomly.  for instance i just looked up lxqt which is listed as version 13... I don&#x27;t know what version that corresponds to upstream.. 1.13? Maybe? it&#x27;s all incredibly beginner unfriendly<p>maybe someone has a good reference?
