It's only frivolous if it doesn't serve a purpose.  In this case, it
does serve a purpose...that of making it easier from someone to obtain
the package they want while keeping our naming consistent.

I wonder if a feature like:

(pkgutil|pkg-get) list '*webpy*'
...
py_webpy - A python web framework (version: $VERSION)
...

wouldn't help to solve this problem too.  It's a feature I use with
yum on a fairly regular basis.

Thanks
