Also this name change causes no or next to no problem from the
project's POV
I meant "Also this name collision causes...".

AFAIK the application is already distributed in Arch since 3.18 and
as a Flatpak with the gnome-games name. Also this name change causes
no or next to no problem from the project's POV as the gnome-games
name is deprecated since at least two years now.
This seems like a distribution problem and one which is specific to
Debian and its derivatives, so after more reflection changing the
project's name is probably not the solution, especially as nothing
prevents Debian to use a different package name like the one
suggested by Michael.

It's very confusing to have a new app whose source is named
gnome-games [1] since that name was already used not that long
ago.[2]
On Debian and derivatives, gnome-games is still in active use [3] as
a
metapackage for those who would like to easily install all of the
games in the gnome-apps moduleset.[4]
As far as I know, the new gnome-games has not been picked up by
distros yet, so a rename now should be minimally disruptive. Note: My
objection here's isn't to the display name of "Games" or "GNOME
Games". I believe the source package needs a different name though.
A quick look at the description field of the git repo suggests one
potential new name: gnome-games-launcher.
Thanks,
Jeremy
