As I've already told you in private on friday, this naming scheme didn't came from the GNOME team, but originally GTK1 themes were named gtk-engines-foo, and GTK2 themes gtk2-engines-foo. Currently most of them have been merged in the gtk2-engines package. I'd say it is better to conform to this naming scheme unless there is a good reason not to do so. It is just more clear for users. Now, if the package isn't only a gtk2 engine, maybe it's worth being split into 2 parts. However renaming to gtk-qt-engine, breaking the naming scheme just to have the same name as the source package, seems pretty counterproductive to me. -- .''`.
