This is what our packaging guidelines say: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- 14.4.2 Package Naming --------------------- [=E2=80=A6] Both [variable name and package name] [=E2=80=A6] correspond to the lowercase conversion of the project name chosen upstream, with underscores replaced with hyphens. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- -- Ricardo
