This package has been shipped in Ubuntu for a few releases now.
Currently it builds usb-creator-common, usb-creator-gtk &
usb-creator-kde packages with backend, GTK and Qt front ends
respectively.
I don't believe the name is misleading when read together with short
description or with long description. Plus it would be inconvenience
to rename the package again, cause we have just transitioned from
usb-creator -> usb-creator-$(frontend) in Ubuntu.

I've created Debian branded icons, I will work on making description
non-vendor specific. This is the current debian/control.
