Remember that we use package names as keys - for example, in the BTS. So  
there *must not* ever be two packages with the same name.

If we need both a Linux and a Hurd (and a BSD and ...) "makedev" package,  
then let's call them makedev-linux, makedev-hurd, makedev-bsd and so on  
... or else, build a combined version.
