We can't control how upstreams name their packages, but we can ensure we
are consistent in our naming, which means
* minimal to no conflicts (see python-twitter & twitter on pypy among
many other examples
* easy and consistent discovery via google, freshports, etc (users will
always search for the exact pypi name first)
