  I just realized that if a user has verilog installed, it won't be 
  updated if we rename the package to iverilog, the solution would be 
  adding a dummy transitional package called "verilog" that would depend 
  on "iverilog", but then, what would be the point of renaming the 
  package if we do this ?

  I hope to hear your opinions please.
