For number 3, it is nice in that it makes it very clear what the
package is. That said, isn't that already covered by the description?
I for one never explicitly install a package without first knowing
what it is and why I want it, and I have a feeling I'm not in the
minority on that one.

I'm slightly more of a fan of number 1, since these are variants of
the application, but I think its better just to get one naming
standard and stick to it than to have something that everybody likes.
The difference between 1 and 2 makes it just a matter of which feels
nicer; both are easy to search for.
