</I>A package name is not a software name... and we have already some
packages whose the name is not the same as in other distributions for
reasons that belong to our and their organisation :
look at JACK (Jack Audio Connection Kit) for instance
- opensuse has a rpm simply called jack
- Mandriva and Mageia need to name it jackit (because an other software,
to rip cd, was already provided in a rpm called jack)
- Debian and Ubuntu name their deb jackd or jackd1 (Debian too already
used the name jack for the package installing the same cd ripper as
Mandrake)
- fedora and slackware call the rpm jack-audio-connection-kit (with
lowercase...)
Those distibutions have their coherency their needs : it's difficult to
standardise the packages names for all the distributions because these
names have an historical origin !
You can complain ... but that is how it is...
For a distribution the need is coherence for its own packagers
