I don't know about widely used, but searching "acme-client" on github
shows four projects with this name, neither of which is this package.

Many distros prefix OpenBSD projects with ambigous names with
"openbsd-". E.g. "openbsd-netcat", "openbsd-ntpd" etc. We don't appear
to have that problem yet, but I think this could be a good precedent.
