Name space pollution: Mauve

[Andreas Tille]

Hello,

at the Debian-Med list we discussed about the name space pollution
that is caused by two projects called Mauve:

     http://sourceware.org/mauve    and
     http://asap.ahabs.wisc.edu/mauve

I wonder what you think about Aaron's (the "Multiple Genome Alignment" - Mauve
author) to rename the first package to mauve-test.

Kind regards
