My apologies, indeed. I will push an additional patch.

It depends; I just noticed for red-eclipse since you brought up the question.
Now I just checked accountsservice:
              (uri (string-append "https://www.freedesktop.org/software/"
                                  name "/" name "-" version ".tar.xz"))
    (description
     "The AccountService project provides a set of D-Bus interfaces for querying
It looks as if this should remain accountservice, since there is no space
in the project name.
The same holds for recordmydesktop.

For randomjungle, the tarball does not contain a space, the description does;
then it is up to us to make a decision on what the project name is. The
tarball name is always fine.
The same holds for rubber band.

It might also be more awkward to modify names of packages that are already
there for some time.
