I think it's okay if "first come, first served" applies to things like
source package names.  The Debian-wide convention is that source package
names are upstream package names, so it would be strange if we decided
to prefix emacs-* to all our source packages when no other teams are
doing this.

Btw, some packages use the *-el convention instead of emacs-*.
