I guess that this is a historical thing: past autoconf compatibility 
packages always had names such as autoconf213. Back then, dots in package 
names were considered unusual or harmful, standard practice was to omit 
them. The rule that the dot should be included was added relatively recently 
(but already a couple years ago by now) to the packaging guidelines.
