Bug#557765: libfishsound1-dev: The -dev package should be named libfishsound-dev

So, six years ago there was a proposal to rename libfishsound1-dev
to libfishsound-dev.  This sound like a good idea, but will
require some work.  Is it worth it?

A quick search on https://codesearch.debian.net/ indicate that
at least the following packages need to have their build dependencies
changed:

  roaraudio
  sonic-visualiser

So not too bad, and should be doable with NMUs in an evening.  What do the
rest of you think?  Should we drop the idea or go for it?

Is there a better way to find all packages build-depending on
libfishsound1-dev?
