Small nit ... By renaming packages such as NumPy to py-numerical,
one may loose the original packages' identity.

For example, I know of two python SNMP extension modules, one
called snmpy, and the other PySNMP :-)   They can't both be
py-snmp.

Can we/should we use py-<package name>, using care to preserve
the original package name? i.e. py-PySNMP, py-PostGreSQL, 
py-NumPy...

Just a suggestion,
