I understand that renaming the package is less than easy and that making the description include this warning is fairly straightforward, but if we acknowledge that there is a problem here, then in the long-run this will come up again and again based soley on the package name, as people won't read the descriptions before complaining. Renaming the package will save trouble later. -- Jon Dowland http://jon.dowland.name/
