That's a good wording. :-)

I think if we did not managed a sufficient amount of opinions once there
was a good time to react I think it is a waste of time if you try
afterwards.  I learned in Free Software that asking for opinion is
really hard - even if naming discussions usually gather a fair amount of
opinions (keyword bike shedding).  The best way is to do something.  So
either you tell me:  "I'm not happy with the current situation and I'll
send you a patch that renames the DNA jellyfish" - I'd be positive to
aks ftpmaster to let the package pass again the Debian new queue.  This
should be done *quickly* before people might adapt to the new package.
If you do not do this we should simply live with the current situation.
