i wonder what you consider is naming what, here? if you're assuming the catalogue "entry" name is the source, you're wrong. the catalogue only really emerged about 10 years after ctan, and its first population was named from the directory that the catalogue entry described. tbh, i don't recall the first appearance of unicode package: if i had been as involved in catalogue work, then, as i am now, i would probably have objected. i'm all in favour of unifying the name. on general principles, i would prefer a shorter name. > How can I change the package and directory name on CTAN?

Should the > “unicode” entry be removed entirely? upload a package called "ucs" and note that it replaces "unicode" ;-) if you upload it to cambridge, i'll just install it. if you upload it to dante, there might be more of a delay. but whatever you do, don't worry about the name change -- you've more important work to do... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
