Well, if  "Debian" can publish their built Apache Maven as "maven" and
"Steve&Nick" can't publish their built Apache Maven as "maven", then the
inescapable question is; On what non-arbitrary grounds is one acceptable
and the other is not? It can't be "we like Debian, but not Steve&Nick",
that is morally weak.
