opkg itself doesn't seem to have this limitation, I just created and installed a
test package named 'A' perfectly fine.
The Debian policy says:
Package names (both source and binary, see Package, Section 5.6.7) must
consist only of lower case letters (a-z), digits (0-9), plus (+) and minus
(-) signs, and periods (.). They must be at least two characters long and
must start with an alphanumeric character.
So I think the restriction is there to keep generated packages
compatible with dpkg-deb.
We could consider removing the restriction if that compatibility isn't
necessary.
