Huh? I am lost and confused here: As far as I understood Thomas is trying to create a Debian package which then goes into the Debian distribution (possibly sid at the moment). Same was done e.g. with Lucene, httpd, Tomcat etc. All of these packages are maintained by Debian people and not pushed by Apache guys. Still the packages are named tomcat5.5, apache2.2-common, liblucene-java. So it seems possible to name official Debian packages similar to the upstream Apache project w/o much problems.
