Something I've seen a lot with Java code: package names need to be
unique. One way to accomplish this is to use the inverse of your
domain name (which you "control" thus where you can avoid collisions
in a "free world").

But that's not a requirement, only a "good practice if you can't think
of anything else". The only requirement (to avoid problems) is to not
have collisions in package names. If you think that there will be more
"Debians" where will be "more pcsc-lites", you could need more bits.
But I'm sure there will not be another pcsc-lite, even if there would,
it would have a different name. Thus "org.debian.pcsc-lite" is both
memorable and also enough to avoid collisions.

So my suggestion is to keep it "readable" and "possible to type for
humans". org.sourceforge.projects.bla.users.x.Something. is a
ReallyBadPackageName (or similar).

Note to self and others: don't use DokuWiki as the namespace feature
can make one go taxonomy-crazy.
