Perhaps we need two names for every package: a long-form one that is indicative of what the pkg does, and a short-form one that corresponds to the project names of the SW delivered by the pkg. That way if you want to install "terminator" it's trivial, and if you want to browse available pkgs looking for terminals, it's also trivial.
I think having two names for each package is only going to complicate matters.
Classification, in addition to the package name and summary, should make it apparent what a package provides.
If a user doesn't know what package provides a given program, that's what search is for.
