I am confused about this statement. The naming convention speaks a bit
vaguely of "project name chosen upstream"; very often, this means the
tarball name. Now there is www.wesnoth.org, which distributes tarballs and
executable files called wesnoth.*. So I would argue that the upstream
name is "wesnoth" and would suggest to revert this change.
This is in a similar spirit to "gcc" for instance; we do not call it
"gnu-compiler-collection" either, although this is the long name used
on their project web page.
Andreas
