Our package > guidelines say to use the upstream name. I don't know about widely used, but searching "acme-client" on github shows four projects with this name, neither of which is this package. Many distros prefix OpenBSD projects with ambigous names with "openbsd-". E.g. "openbsd-netcat", "openbsd-ntpd" etc. We don't appear to have that problem yet, but I think this could be a good precedent. -marius
