As I've said here [1], here [2] and here [3] (and Microsoft said here
[4]) the open source package is not allowed to use the name Visual
Studio in any way. Therefore it needs to be renamed to "code",
"microsoft-code" or something similar.  So the open source package is
named inappropriately, regardless of how I named the original package.

Finally, when a package is binary only (i.e there is no indication an
open source version does or will exist), not using a -bin suffix is
perfectly acceptable. See steam [5] in the offical repositories.
