Given that the powerd package in Debian is freebsd-specific and will
therefore never be in Ubuntu, and the Ubuntu powerd will never be ported
to BSD, I don't think the name conflict is significant. It's certainly
allowed to have a single binary package name provided by different
source packages on different architectures.
If someone had a good replacement name for this and upstream were
inclined to accept the rename, then that's fine; but the obvious choice
('upower') is taken by another package already (calling it 'upowerd'
rather than 'upower' would be no less confusing), and I don't see the
value in forcing an arbitrary rename here.
