The problem also lies with whoever makes packages for linux/bsd 
distributions.

The distributions will not permit two different packages with the same name.

So if both packages make it into popular linux/bsd distributions, there 
*will* be a name change of some kind.

As I see it the only question is who chooses the new name?  Will it be left 
to the guy who first enters the package into the debian/freebsd system?
