I'm really not convinced that Melange is that generic. I'm not at all convinced either that someone is trying to do typo squatting either, just for the pleasure of owning dictionary words. It is just the way it is: Melange is there, and it's in Ubuntu. Denying that fact, and that it might add difficulties in the future if we don't use the same names for the same thing will not help.
I'm only vouching for the least effort here. I really don't want to spend time convincing *both* upstream and Ubuntu guys that we shall rename. I'm not at all in the favor of having a special case for Debian either (which means that it would be more difficult to merge packaging efforts later).
