Comment # 2 on bug 1187910 from
+1 for renaming back to `nf-config` -- this is the standard name that many
build tools will be looking for. As far as I can tell, OpenSUSE is the only OS
that names it this way.

The package name is a little bit confusing too:

- nc-config is provided by netcdf-devel
- ncxx4-config is provided by netcdf-cxx4-tools
- nf-fortran-config is provided by netcdf-fortran_4_5_3-gnu-hpc

Would it be possible to have the `*-config` utilities be provided by the
`*-devel` packages? It's not clear to me why they are packaged separately. Even
having them as recommended packages would be useful.

Please could you say why this is? Clearly there's a reason, but I find it a bit
confusing that there are non-environment module versions of the C and C++
libraries, just not for Fortran. The .mod files obviously depend on the
compiler, but I would expect the system package to require the system compiler.
`hdf5-devel`, for example, does include the Fortran .mod files in the
non-module package.
