    I completely agree. I think that a lot of the perl and python
ports are a bit special because they consist purely of python code,
and I'm sure that some of the prefixing is done to avoid namespace
collisions with existing packages, but I do find it annoying when I
have to look for py-pycrypto instead of pycrypto, etc (and I find that
to be a devolved way of specifying a package name).
Thanks,
