We have more pressing issues than that. I am not getting involved into a spurious renaming exercise just for that. [ We could "one day" rename all non-standard source package names. Apparently some people on the kernel team are not too happy with source package "boot" -- should really be r-cran-boot ] Anyway, patch reversed, 3.0.0-2 is out. Old (working) behaviour and archive buildability restored. That does come first.
