I just found out that there's a package called "mailagent" in Debian
which also contains a binary file called 'package'. This means users
who have mailagent and autopackage installed can't use both at the
same time. So I suggest switching to a new name for the terminal
frontend, like 'apkg' or 'autopackage'.

Another reason would be that 'package' doesn't really do what it once
was named for (http://autopackage.org/faq.html#2_5 ) and certainly
never will be, as PackageKit already implemented something like this.

For the 1.4 release I think there should still be a 'package' command
which forwards all calls to the new command after telling the user
that 'package' is deprecated.

What do you think?
