Erhm, you mean the meta and source packages only, or also `root-bin',
etc.
What's wrong with `root-system' as I proposed? I prefer that to
`project' (which sounds like it's in an alpha stage, not a product in
development).

I tried to get feedback from the FTP masters, but so far (4+ weeks) I've
had no response what so ever. So, we were hoping that debian-devel
would come up with some _recommendation_, and then we'd try to upload
with those names, and see what the FTP masters had to say about that.
So please, keep the suggestions coming.
Thanks Florian.
