Guile is not an implementation detail in > this case. It means that the package is based on Guile. It's like xterm > (a terminal for x window), gnome-terminal (a terminal based on the GNOME > framework) and so on. Hence many users who don't use Gnome won't use gnome-terminal. Do you really want to use a name which will make users think "Guile Diskutils ... nope, not for me, I don't use Guile". Stefan PS: Also `xterm` indeed only works with the X Window System (contrary to gnome-terminal which works fine in this here XFCE session).
