It does?

Thanks for the hint.  Added to my TODO list for dh-make-elpa.

Our current convention is to use the upstream package name for the
source package name, unless the word is very common and the Emacs
package is very minor, in which case we use the emacs- prefix.

Are you suggesting we always use the emacs- prefix?  I don't see why we
would need to do that.  goto-chg is fine in this case.  Though you could
bring it up on debian-emacsen@l.d.o.
