Finding a good and well sounding package name is complicated business. I
know that, we renamed most Schilling's cdrtools stuff and obviosly the
best names are already taken. Not neccessarily by other Debian packages
but also but other _and_ especially by commercial products which may
have some stupid trademark behind them.
Something like "swebmon" comes to my mind... but I doubt I have perfect
feeling for good names.
I am not sure about what is the main focus of your package. At the first
glance it looks like a websec remake in Ruby. I would at least refer to
websec in the package description.

I would just retitle the current one. See the BTS mail admin commands
reference for details.
