Squeeze (the archive manager) is the package name, the binary name, the library name, and most important the software name). Having to rename it is a pain because users know it by this name and not by a name like, say squeeze-archiver or something like that. OTOH, squeeze (the archive manager) just entered the archive while squeeze (the dict files compressor) is there since a long time. popcon shows few users for epwutils (and a bit fewer for squeeze) so renaming wont touch too many people in either case: http://preview.tinyurl.com/39363v (sorry for this, I don't think there's a way to have shorts url in popcon.php so I used tinyurl). Do you think renaming squeeze to squeeze-dict (or something like that) will be painful? I'm CC:ing -devel as per policy.

I don't think so. From the wikipedia page: As of mid 2004, PaX has not been submitted for the mainline kernel tree because The PaX Team does not think it yet appropriate; although PaX is fully functional on many CPU architectures, including the popular x86 architecture used by most, it still remains partially or fully unimplemented on some architectures. Those that PaX is effective on include IA-32(x86), AMD64, IA-64, Alpha, PA-RISC, and 32 and 64 bit MIPS, PowerPC, and SPARC architectures And I think there is periodically threads on LKML but can't find a relevant one quickly.
