How to name a package (was Re: how to package?)



Apology for this question. Supposed there is a large
organization where ''/usr/local'' is reserved for the real
local of any system.

Supposed HQ introduced package ''hq-vi'' which is a
modification of vim. But, a branch also introduced
''branch-hq-vi'' which is a different modification of vim too.

(1) Is it OK to name the packages with ''hq-vi'' and ''branch-hq-vi''
without reporting to any upstream (whatever that is)?

(2) Is it OK to put those packages into /usr/bin? Is /opt a
better place? Eg. /opt/hq/ and /opt/hg/branch/?

(3) Is it OK to use the /etc/alternatives directory for
altering the vi?

(4) Any suggestion?
