Fair enough.

Here are some alternative names:
 - live-usb-creator (as Mehdi suggested earlier)
 - iso-usb-creator
 - startup-disk-creator (this is what the Gnome menu item reads [1])
 - startup-usb-creator
 - ubuntu-usb-creator

Any other name suggestions are more than welcome. :)

Dmitrijs and the Usb-creator Hackers team: would you be willing to
change the name of the package upstream?

Cheers,
 Ignace M
