apt-cache search gnomemeeting comes up empty

Bug Description

Hello!

If this package gets renamed to such a pointless name as "ekiga" (certainly not your fault, though), then it should be made sure that people are pointed at the new name when doing an apt-cache search on the previous name of the software (gnomemeeting or possibly also gnome-meeting).

Thanks!

Absolutely agree: I spent quite a lot of time searching for this.

Actually, it returns the following, which doesn't help much when looking for the new replacement package:

ayttm - Universal Instant Messaging Client
ohphone - Command line H.323 client with X, SVGA and SDL support
ohphone-basic - Command line H.323 client with SDL support

Can this be adressed by a dummy package ?
