Expressing what (I think) is the same intenet, but paraphrased:

Debian/Python people seem to have a convention of calling packages
"python-foo" if it provides a library "foo", or just calling the package
"foo" if it provides an application or utility called "foo".

In the case of packages which provide both (e.g. docutils), I think the
packager maintainer decides which is more "important" out of the library
or the app/utility.

So it is "gtk2hs" not "haskell-gtk2hs" because it provides a utility
(right?)
