There was a request on

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/WishList

and because it's a tiny package you may not need a lot of time
for maintainmence.

For the naming discussion, because Debian use the same name as
upstream and Debeian has more packages as Fedora, I see no
problem to use the upstream package name for it.

At least, of course I have wrote a mail to upstream fo suggest a
rename of this package. But until now I haven't got any response.
