Apologies if I missed a previous discussion on this topic, but… I’m
skeptical about the renames.  I assume that the original names were
those commonly used in distributions, which in itself may be a good
reason to keep them.

Those names are also used upstream in some cases: the tarball for
wesnoth is called “westnoth*.tar.gz”, for example, and the GitHub
project of L’Abbaye des morts is “abbayedesmorts” (no ‘l’).  Like our
naming guidelines say (info "(guix) Package Naming"), we should try to
stick to the upstream name.

Thoughts?

Ludo’.
