Ugly package names suck. They don't fit in the first column of dpkg output. Worse, they're required, to be the name of the directory in /var/lib/ if the package needs to make one. "/var/lib/folding" is great, but "/var/lib/folding-installer" is terrible.
Of course, some packages (I count 12) do follow the installer-suffix form. I'd like to avoid it if at all permissible.
