Bikeshed: repositroy prefix

Here is a quick bikeshed.. we need a prefix to use for formulas which
are in the repository.  E.g.:

    foobar:oneiric/wordpress
    foobar:~jcastro/oneiric/wodpress

and so on.  What should "foobar" be?

We can't use lp: because the names do not match exactly with the
branch concept. There's a relation between them, but they won't match
perfectly.

Here are a few suggestions collected in the channel:

    repo:oneiric/wordpress
    ubuntu:oneiric/wordpress
    store:oneiric/wordpress
    frm:oneiric/wordpress (frm == formula)
    efr:oneiric/wordpress (efr == Ensemble Formula Repository)
    fr:oneiric/wordpress (fr == Formula Repository)

Votes?  More than one vote per person is fine.

Note that this debate is _just_ about naming.  An actual spec with
semantics is coming.
