The convention seems to be that all punctuation is replaced by a hyphen,
although the manual section 7.6.2 Package Naming doesn't specify this.
There are a few packages with 'dots' in the name.
Either way, I think it's not that important. It's probably more
useful to stay close to the "upstream" name so that users can find
packages quickly. Do as you see fit :)
