new to packaging

[Andreas Mussgiller]

Hi there,

after years with SuSE linux I have resently converted to ubuntu and
want to contribute. I have created my first packages but have a few
questions:

1) At the moment I run hoary. Should I update to breezy before uploading
   my packages for revision?

2) I once found a page which described the package naming conventions
   but can not find it any more. Could somebody please point me in the
   right direction?

3) The package I am working on is version 2.x of libnjb
   (libnjb.sourceforge.net). Due to major changes in the api 
   versions <2.2 are incompatible with versions >=2.2. What would be a 
   correct package name for versions <2.2 and version >=2.2? At the 
   moment I use "libnjb2" for version 2.0 through <2.2 and "libnjb2.2"
   for versions >=2.2.

More questions to come...

Thanks

Andreas
