I don't think it's a good idea to have a different name in PKG-INFO

I don't see anything wrong about adding a simple deprecation warning
here, It won't happen again
for quite a while.

Distutils already had some argument name changes like that for
backward compatiblity (licence<->license) but they were not
displaying any warning.

What would be the problem with having both sets work and not deprecate either? (ie: make them synonyms of each other?)

cheers,
