There=E2=80=99s also the Common Platform Enumeration (CPE), the thing used = to refer to software in the CVE database. Some of our packages have a =E2=80=98cpe-name=E2=80=99 property giving, wel= l, their CPE name so that =E2=80=98guix lint -c cve=E2=80=99 can do the right thing. I wonder how matches package names among distros though. Ludo=E2=80=99.
