GNUStep namespace pollution in Debian?

[Eric Heintzmann]

                Hi everybody,

It seems that most debian users/maintainers don't like the over 
general names of some GNUstep apps.
For example look at this message :

I think we need the opinion of upstream authors and the GNUstep 
community.
Look at these threads:

http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2004/06/msg00478.html
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2004/06/msg00484.html

Don't hesitate to post something in the Debian devel mailing list.

Incriminated packages are :

addresses
clipbook
terminal
imageviewer
camera
charmap
textedit
viewpdf
preferences

P.S.
To avoid misunderstanding, I want to add that nobody has asked for 
GNUstep apps renaming, just for GNUstep debian package renaming.
