new package name for gtk-engines-mgicchikn



hello list..

i am currently adopting the package "gtk-engines-mgicchikn",
whereas one task is to rename the package.

so i think that "gtk2-engines-magicchicken" is a fine name for it.
unfortunately, there are 25 characters necessary for this name. the
developer's reference suggests to use no more than 20 characters.
but the "mandatory" prefix "gtk2-engines-" alone needs 12 characters, so
crippling the name of the theme itself to 8 characters would be
necessary to comply with the aforementioned suggestion.
how do tools like aptitute, deity, etc. cope with these long names?

my sponsor and i agree on "gtk2-engines-magicchicken", despite its length.
what do the others think about it?

thanks,
 sebastian
