How about an autoconf macro AC_SLASHPACKAGE which would take the name
of the package assigned by the /package naming authority.
Nobody will mind that in the slightest.

If the AC_SLASHPACKAGE macro is not given, then a default
name of /package/host/gnu.org/$(PACKAGE) could be used,
where $(PACKAGE) is the name provided to the AC_INIT macro.
