yes. My idea was that if you look  at it, at an higher abstraction level you
have:
1) if you search for 'linux' you don't go to kernel.org
2) if you search for 'kernel' you go to kernel.org and get an linux-...
named package.

so at the end there is no correct or wrong name for a choice. The answer to
my "question"(do you?) is here yes.
