Thank you for the suggestion. However:

- We used have a multiple parts under that project 'freedombox':
'plinth' and 'freedombox-setup'. Now there is only one. There no
'freedombox-<something-else>'. Most of the effort (> 95% of it) goes
into this project. We want this project to mean 'freedombox'.

- We want people looking for 'freedombox' to find this one project.
Others are lot less relevant. For example, 'apt install freedombox', web
search 'freedombox source code'. Naming it 'freedombox-service' hurts
discoverability without much additional gain.

- In most places in the documentation, the daemon has already been
referred to as 'FreedomBox Service' already.

Thanks,

Sunil
