package naming question: muse -vs - MusE

There are some discussions about merging parts of PlanetCCRMA into
Fedora Extras.  One of the problems has to do with package namespace
conflicts.  For instance, PlanetCCRMA has had a "muse" package for many
years (http://www.muse-sequencer.org).  But now FE has an emacs
extension package called "muse".  So, assuming the emacs extension
package can't be renamed, we need a new name for the musical muse
package.

One of the suggestions was to use the official project spelling of
"MusE" for the package name.  Do the Extras packaging guidelines allow
this (having both MusE and muse package)?
