It's not supposed to, though.  It's supposed to disambiguate packages
- From different people who may want to use similar names (probably
because they weren't aware of the other package already using
whatever name)

If we lose this, we have to hope that people get smarter about
choosing their package names to avoid conflicts in the first place,
or we have to get stricter about what does or doesn't go into cclan.
Who gets the "md5" package?
