I wasn't trying to beat you down, just to understand what problem was
being solved.  I guess I didn't understand the example you showed
before.

I do still think it may be better for plugins to use package names that
are acceptable to Python.  But I take your point that _not_ being fussy
about the names is one of the things that makes the current system nice,
and so we should be cautious in requiring compliant names.

Showing only part of the package directory ('bzr-gtk-0') doesn't help
anyone, and I am in favour of fixing that.
