I am packaging a library (rdkit.org) providing C/C++ and python
interfaces. Additionally, there is some code to create a Postgresql
cartridge with the same name (rdkit)

It seems we lack any guideline about packaging these, which is not
that bad considering I could only find another cartridge in the repos,
postigis.
However, I'd like to hear your opinion about how to name the
subpackage; I guess candidates would be:

1- postgresql-rdkit
2- rdkit-postgresql
3- rdkit-pgsql

right now I'm leaning toward 1- given that I found many instances of
3-style packages providing optional pgsql support for "name" and 2- is
not very different from 3-

thanks in advance

Gianluca

Please use (2). 1 is used for PostgreSQL's core packages or core related
packages. 2nd one is used for extensions, which is appropriate for what
you say.
