I think this is a really bad package name. There is nothing like a basis or
universal about this package for the average Debian system. This name sounds
like it belongs into the same category as base-files or base-passwd.

Other distros like gentoo [1] put this package in the games category to give
some more context to the name. As we do not have this mechanism in Debian I
think that context should be in the package name. Maybe include that this is
about GPU textures?

Thanks!

cheers, josch
