We don't use the name "fred" except internally. Even if "fred" comes up in the results, most people will just skip past it and look for "freenet" first. >From the Debian project's POV it's better if we prefix all our package names with "freenet-", eg. "freenet-thaw", "freenet-fms", etc. (eg. there's already a "freetalk" package). Then the main package should be called "freenet" / "freenetd" / "freenet-daemon". (Using "fred-" as a prefix doesn't make sense.) If you have a look at the package names of other projects with large codebases, they follow a similar pattern - eclipse, openoffice.org, iceweasel, icedove, etc.. X
