Yes, since LaTeX packages are referred to by the file name (package xy is a file "xy.sty", in general), the package name changes with the file name.

This seems like a pretty big deal. Renaming an application (like Firefox) does not have much impact, but renaming a TeX package which seems to be pretty standard would require users to modify their TeX sources, wouldn't it? I suppose soft links with the original names aren't allowed either?
(btw, sorry for the delay: mail problems)
