I never liked the name "Software Valet". It sounds rather pompous and
conceited.
I like how Haiku generally calls apps what they are: "Mail" for mail,
"MediaPlayer" for playing media, "Screenshot" to take a screenshot.
Once/if app name loacalization works again, that doesn't leave some
more or less obscure and culture dependend entry in the list of apps.
So, "PackageManager" would be OK for me.
If it has to get a bit fancier... :): "Software Depot" would also be OK
for the actual application. I don't think "Haiku Depot" fits that well
for the app, but maybe for the main/official repository. That also
allows other Depots, like "Free Depot", "Commercial Depot", "Fred Fish
PD Depot" or what have you. In general, I'd prefer "Depot" over
"Repository" and "Software" over "Package".
