+No problem as part of the package name.
+It is just references to Mandriva as the packaging or supporting distro 
+that must be changed to Mageia.
+Since you want to support it, it is great that you want to import it.

+Almost all of our packages were in Mandriva.  We just have to make sure 
+that its' licence permits redistribution, which is generally the case.
+And that if it is non-free, that it doesn't have any components that are 
+contrained by patent claims or similar considerations.  (At least for 
+the moment.)
+If the package was in mdv2010.1/2 (main/contrib/non-free), then it can 
+be imported as an update to mga1 as well as cauldron.
+If it wasn't, it would be a backport for mga1.  (But backports aren't 
+open yet, unless I missed it.)
