About this specific point, while it is relevant to name scripts by the
name of their package, I do not think it should be too strict. Such a
recommendation exists to maintain a bit of order and to avoid conflicts.
However, there are examples of scripts which have a logical name which
is distinct from the name of their package, typically hwclock.sh.
