My 0.02€:
Formally, wrt. the FPC, there is nothing wrong with this name, ...
The upstream package name choice is very unfortunate and raises false
associations/confusion on the users' side.
It should be changed do something more descriptive.
If I were reviewing this package, I would not accept this package.
