That's unfortunate, but you're the only packager who seems to have this issue. I've already spent 2 months more time working on this transition than I planned, so I'm not planning to do anything else disruptive with it this cycle. If it remains a problem, or some of the other packagers support renaming the packages, we can discuss it at the L summit to be done during the L cycle.
