Well, the version on tuxfamily is not maintained at the moment... or sporadically if at all. So, what we released here is OTR for irssi and that is all so "irssi-otr" seems to me a good name (being a module not a perl script). The package on tuxfamily should indeed be something else. Personally, I *prefer* separating components rather then trying to fit a square and a circle in a triangle. Xchat and wee-chat should be separated package in my opinion. Anyway, for now, the release is exclusively Irssi and Otr 4.0.x thus the naming. Thanks!
