I fail to see why the name of the source package causes a problem. The
Cava audio visualisation tool could be packaged with a source package
named cava-audio-visualisation or cava-audio. Feel free to use the
'cava' name for the binary package, I don't think the Java package will
ever need that.

If the Java package was to be renamed I'd rather suggest consensys-cava.
And not during the freeze of course.
