It has been *asserted* over and over again that this is wrong, but
that assertation does not seem to be consistent with the actual
license text we're discussing. It says that each *file* must be
renamed if it is changed, and since each package is a file that has
the package name as its file name, it logically follows that one would
have to rename all packages.
Have I overlooked something in the license?

I'm confused about what you mean here. Since it already has been
established that the ideal goals seem to be compatible, why do you
insist that we "come back" to that question instead of moving on to
"reformulating it so that everything gets clearer"?
