Hello,

"workflow" is a very generic name for a Debian package. In scientific
computing there are over 340 workflow systems[0].

Perhaps this source package would better be named "sogou-workflow" and
the binary packages likewise renamed "libsogou-workflow-dev", etc..

Thanks,

Hello,

I would be fine with altering the package name to be more specific. I
have found some documentation on the process [1], but some help with
this would be nice. Also, I will need someone to grant me permissions to
upload the package with a new name.
