I disagree.  This is the same reasoning that gives us crap like
"rpm-python" when every other Python library is "python-foo".

The entire point of using prefixes like these is that it makes
libraries/add-ons for specific languages/programs easier to find.
That becomes pointless if half the relevant packages do it one way and
half the other packages do it the other way.  :-(

Package names are for users, and users don't know/care what SRPM a
package comes from.
