I have to apologize for this if we (IBM) did not provide enough
information here.

There are two reasons:

- We have two daemons in the subpackage that write (stat)istics to the "z/VM  
(mon_)itor stream"
- Historically: For the other distribution we have one System 5 init script 
that is called "mon_statd".

So "apt-cach search mon_statd" can find the package, sounds good to me.

I have no (real) problem if you want to keep the name. Packaging is your 
responsibility.
My intention is to keep some consistency between the distributions.

Yes, this is our plan :-)
