The issue with naming is that everyone has their opinion. Since other smart people have already played the categorization game can I suggest to restrict the discussion to which *existing* structure we should adopt ? There are a lot of big repositories out there: debian, gentoo portage, archlinux, pkgsrc, ... One of them is bound to work, mostly. The nice benefit would also be of not having to talk about categorization ever again, unless the packaged project doesn't exist in the canonical repository.
I don't care what structure we chose as long as it's shallower than what we have right now. Like OP I'm tired of searching for packages and then entering long paths in my shell.
