Agreed. However, RPM packaging came later, and decided to prefix each server project with "openstack-". Also, RPM packages understand upper/lower case, when the deb format explicitly forbids it. So we'd have to have some kind of change in the policy for RPM packages to happen first, before we have the same package names. I don't see how this can happen. As for splitting-up a package into multiple ones, this is more or less dictated by upstream (for example: sahara-api & sahara-engine are the 2 daemons so we do 2 packages). So all together, I don't see much we could do that we don't already.
