BTW, I maintain alias and www-search (and libwww-perl and mailtools and, heck, I think that may mean I maintain all the perl module packages now that it looks like CGI-modules is going away), and I do agree with some of your comments. At the same time, though, those names do have a certain meaning for people who are aware of them outside of debian, and thus one should be very wary of renaming someone else's module. At the same time, Graham Barr suggested to me that I rename libnet to be libnet-perl, since there was a C library by the same name. Of course, he also told me he was thinking about renaming the upstream package, and has not yet done so---in large part because of the name recognition---he's just now got people to stop looking for the separate Net:: modules. This was, of course, after Graham admitted that he hadn't been aware that they'd been packaged for Debian, which is doubly amusing, since that's what he uses.
