Hi Charles,
I really don't think there is any reason to rename your package.
I renamed my amap into amap-thc, and this should be fully 10.1 compliant now.
Since my package is a new one there is no reason to avoid such a rename, and I can work with new packages depending on it to patch them in the right way.
The package also creates a link into "amap6", so really *nobody* should *ever* use directly amap (for my case).
If they do this, yes, I call it a bug.
So please don't touch your package and I'm uploading a new version of mine with all your really nice suggestions ;)
Cheers!
Gianfranco
