You SHOULD not use uppercase; it isn't an edict - it's a guideline. That said, I agree that lowercase is far preferable. We all know what a PITA it is to try to figure out package names in the repository. That is why the guidelines state you SHOULD use lowercase and hyphens instead of underscores. Turning the attention to the underscore, I would in this instance change it to a hyphen: so the package would be named "superlu-dist". Why, because that is what most people are going to use and what how the vast majority of packages are named. Bottom line, it's your decision as the packager (within the parameters stated in the guideline - which mean if you really wanted you could just keep the name SuperLU_DIST - but there are reasons explained in the packaging guidelines why that isn't a good idea.
