This presupposes a package will always be associated with a specific domain
name, and that the domain name will be around unchanged forever.

Here's an example of where this wouldn't work... Suppose package X is
developed by a company at domain company.com. Then, the company loses
interest in the package, and drops it, but allows someone else to take it
over. Should the package still retain the original domain name? I don't
think so since the company is no longer associated with the package, and
may not want to be for legal or other reasons.
