Not necessarily: "openstack-fuel-agent" (by itself) can just as easily
be understood (by someone who has no idea what OpenStack is) as "a fuel
agent named openstack", just like the "chromium-browser" package is
(was) "a browser called Chromium", or "ninja-build" is "a build system
called ninja".  So someone who is looking for, say, a fuel tracker might
not be any less confused by "openstack-fuel-agent" than by just
"fuel-agent".
