Could be, but won't. There's already a virtual package to do that
('x-terminal-emulator').

Anyways, on the naming front, for Debian, let's do this:

      - GNUstep core packages (only!) are named 'gnustep-*'.
      - Application package are named 'appname.app', since that's a
        frequent term used in the *step world. (We often say
        So Debian package 'terminal' becomes 'terminal.app'.
      - Kits just keep their regular names, but with *-dev, *-dbg,
        etc. like other shared libraries.
