I am not aware of any packaging system or distro in which X.Org itself
controls any xorg namespace or packages - we only manage the upstream
source releases, and leave dealing with a million packaging systems to
the people who actually use those systems.  I can't seen any reason we'd
want to treat packaging system number one million and one any differently.
