Replying to [comment:4 X512]:
> But why it should limit package name (not file name) itself? Also why
package name should be same as in file name?
The package name is encoded in the file name. IIRC there's even code that
needs to infer the file name from the package info. Moreover the package
name can also be used in requires and provides declarations. Allowing
characters that not everyone knows how to input is rather annoying. If a
translatable name is desired, a separate attribute would be better.
