Obinata-san, please feel free to change it back to "pangu-spacing" if
you prefer, and sorry for the trouble.

I found it helps in some cases if source package names gives good hints
on its connection to Emacs, but as you said the binary package will be
prefixed with "elpa-" anyway it may be good enough for searching
purpose. Though I would still like to see the source package prefixed
with "emacs-", I won't insist on it.

you prefer, and sorry for the trouble.
