'super' is not an appropriate package name, for either the package of
your software, nor of any other software; it is far too generic. In
any case you shouldn't hijack the existing package name. Please name
your package super-android-analyzer or superanalyzer or similar.
The same applies to the command-line tool shipped in the package.
BTW, subjective words like 'super' are not suitable for use in package
descriptions.
