</I>A free software distribution, whose part of the added value is overall
consistency. Which is out of scope of individual software authors by
definition.
And the current issue is just about the *package* name, not exactly the
software name. Remember when 'thunderbird' was distributed as
'mozilla-thunderbird' ?
And just to compare it with other similar practices:
- we already normalize perl version numbers, for sorting purpose
- we already force lowercase package naming
- we already modify software setup, to achieve FHS compliance
- we already modify package behaviour, to prevent automatic upgrade, for
instance
The two latest ones seems far most invasive IMHO than just shipping
pycups in a package called 'python-cups' rather than 'python-pycups'.
