I don't object to naming packages differently if there is a reason to do
so, but fail to see one for these packages (except for perlmagick which
is also the upstream name as noted by Bastien ROUCARIES [1]).

What is so special about Perlmagick? I do not know of *any* upstream project named lib*-perl, so same argument would be true for most Perl module packages, I believe.
