That'd cause massive breakage for no good reason IMO, so this is really 
only about the source tarball name. Packagers are free to call it 'apt' 
still, or at least I'd suggest putting Provides: apt if the package name 
is changed. But again, this is just to differentiate the *source*.

update but haven't decided anything really yet :)
