I agree. What about adding a pretty name to show the user that matches the marketing name of the software? Arch seems to have this and it is used in the gui tools like pamac but not on the command line. We could solve this by adding a new optional field to the package record (pretty-name "Armagetron Advanced") For the packages that lack this field I would in the gui display them like this: (name "aircrack-ng") -> Aircrack-ng -- Sent from my k-9 mail for Android.
