It's a redundancy that I think is actually a good idea in this case.
Someone finds pyunit outside of debian and goes "Hmm, wonder if pyunit
is in debian?" If it were me I'd do "dpkg -l '*pyunit*'" and without
the redundancy not find it (I'd also then do "apt-cache search pyunit"
and "apt-cache search unit" and eventually find it, but it makes sense
to have it easily found on the first try).
