Any chance of changing that name?

aterm - Afterstep XVT - a VT102 emulator for the X window system
bochs-term - Terminal (ncurses-based) plugin for Bochs
bogl-bterm - Ben's Own Graphics Library - graphical terminal
kxterm - CERNLIB data analysis suite - KUIP terminal emulator
eterm - Enlightened Terminal Emulator
fbterm - A fast framebuffer based terminal emulator for Linux
gnome-terminal - GNOME terminal emulator application
gtkterm - A simple GTK+ serial port terminal
mlterm - MultiLingual TERMinal
pterm - PuTTY terminal emulator
roxterm - Multi-tabbed GTK/VTE terminal emulator
stterm - bare bones and simple terminal for windowed system
wterm - lightweight terminal emulator for X
xterm - X terminal emulator

As you see there are a lot of *term* packages with a common thread: They
are all terminal emulators. From your name I was sure it was yet
another. That it is a web browser is rather surprising.

PS: there are people and institutions that filter on "xxx" in mails and
urls and block those. Linus ones didn't get a patch because it included
XXX.
