I don't see what point you're trying to make here. Firefox & Thunderbird were renamed because of trademark issues with the Mozilla foundation, and Debian (and the maintainers of these packages) still don't like renaming these packages. For Git, for a while, the package name was already taken by something else. As for Pidgin, Zope & Mercurial, I'm not aware of any issues we had... All this being said, I don't care so much myself. Yet this is a nuisance for me because I may have to deal with such bad naming. Either I ignore recommendations from other DDs, and it makes me feel bad in front of all the Debian project, or I get to deal with all sorts of renaming issues. So it'd be nice if upstream cared... Also, it's truth bash8 is a very poor name, which can be very confusing for our users. Something like bash-tidy or bashtidy would have been much better (even with an 8 at the end...).
