I'd keep the dot in the package name.  We don't want to modify the
actual script name in the package, though (we try to leave the actual
contents of packages as unmodified as possible).

'printf' should just be calling the shell builtin:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ type printf
printf is a shell builtin
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
