Actually, it's not. I think I would probably go for "fuse-encfs", since
I would associate it with fuse. Admittedly I'm not Joe Inexperienced
User, but I don't think that makes it invalid.
Also is there a namespace issue here? Do any of the fuse FS modules have
the same names as real (non-userspace) filesystem
drivers/managers/tools, or the potential to do so? If so, that could be
confusing at least.
I would just add a "Provides:" if you think it's really necessary (and
it doesn't conflict with anything else), but I wouldn't rename the packages.
