Yeah, it definitely used to work. All my apps use it as a way to
display my other apps. I've been using this technique for over half a
year now.

The problem with the publisher name, is it can change. I know I have
control over that but sometimes it is important when rebranding.
Furthermore, the searches are case-sensitive, and I'm still undecided
about whether to use the publisher name mycompany or MyCompany, so
that may change...

Also, someone else might use your publisher name???

Package name prefix is safer (although I suppose someone else could
use the same prefix - its just less likely).
