As I understand it, you can't have *package* names of less than two  
letters, but commands are OK:

% dpkg -S =i
iprint: /usr/bin/i

'br' is the easiest abbreviation to type on my keyboard -- 'z' is in  
a bad location on QWERTY, though I suppose not in other languages.   
But I think we have had enough flux in naming for a while.
