Debian should try *very* hard to match the upstream names. otherwise any docs or 3rd party tools will not be happy under Debian. Also if a user sends them a bug the upstream is likely to say "huh? what is that?". It also makes it harder for the user to seek help from upstream mailing lists. In general I find that if I just package up the work of the original authors everything goes smoothly. Sometimes however you need to seek change. If it were my package I would not have asked the nv people to lowercase their binaries.
