About package names, since they are open source (LGPL, Apache...) there shouldn't be any problems redistributing them with the same name, isn't it. If there is a problem with the name or license of a specific package please let's file a bug and let's discuss and solve it in the context of that specific problem.

What is really the problem? Apart from the fact that it is not good practice to carry the names of distros in package names of generic apps and libraries, it is not evident (at least to me) where the problems really rely.
Right now, it *appears* that the LF's position is that you must rename the package if you (a) make major changes and/or (b) repackage it for another distro. I can't speak for other licenses, but this isn't consistent with the (L)GPL.
