This is correct[1]. According to Debian policy "5.6.1 Source", package names must consist only of lower case letters (a-z), digits (0-9), plus (+) and minus (-) signs, and periods (.). They must be at least two characters long and must start with an alphanumeric character.

Reported this as #696768[2]. [2]: http://bugs.debian.org/696768 Regards, Salvatore
