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

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.
