We don't use the name "fred" except internally. Even if "fred" comes up in the results, most people will just skip past it and look for "freenet" first. From the Debian project's POV it's better if we prefix all our package names with "freenet-", eg. "freenet-thaw", "freenet-fms", etc. (eg. there's already a "freetalk" package). Then the main package should be called "freenet" / "freenetd" / "freenet-daemon". (Using "fred-" as a prefix doesn't make sense.) If you have a look at the package names of other projects with large codebases, they follow a similar pattern - eclipse, openoffice.org, iceweasel, icedove, etc..
