Why should users care about project names? Project names are useful to disambiguate between alternatives that provide similar functionality. For example, these are all GUI terminals: xtrem, rxvt, gnome-terminal, roxterm, terminator, ... I should be able to install "terminal" and get all of them, or "terminal/terminator" to install just terminator. Similarly for screen readers, etcetera.
