I do not like "project" in the package name too much. If you think of how "www.r-project.org" is presented in Debian (as r-..) then it would sound strange to me to add "project" to a project that does not have "project" in its name. The problem of the ambiguity of the term "root" remains. Preferable to me would be to have the name of the institute as a prefix, which would make it cern-root-... or libcern-root-..., much analogous how the products of the NCBI are treated in Debian.
