I still think we're not hitting a home run here. To my way of thinking,
take it or leave it, rather than package_name-XX we should be creating
fr/nom-de-pacquet. I know we're not, but I think we should be. I know _I_
depend on package names to represent their functionality mnenomically.
We're asking non-English speakers to work with sequences of letters that
make no sense to them.
