Do you insist on that? it has been called that way since 2 years.
Actually the program is just called "FTP" and I deemed the name too generic.

I used the gs prefix for other GNUstep applications too: terminal, 
price, & zipper.

What policy shoud we use? Keep the original name and use a prefix only 
when necessary? Always use it?

gs- is much shorter and handier than gnustep- :)
The "core" gnustep packages have gnustep_ so we could stick to that too. 
In that case it is however directly in the upstream package name, 
gnustep-base/gnustep-gui/gnustep-back
