Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-themes-ubuntu

Surely this is not an important issue, but in ubuntu 8.04 the package
called "firefox-themes-ubuntu" should be renamend to something like
"firefox-2-themes-ubuntu". It is confusing for new unexperienced users
and could lead to dependency problems. It would be more consistent, also
like all other packages are seperated to something like "firefox-2..."
and "firefox-3.0..."

Example:
An unexperienced user browses packages in Synaptic to find something interesting. "firefox-themes-ubuntu" sounds cool, so the user wants to install it; not paying attention that also "firefox-2" from universe is going to be installed. Then he wonders, where the themes are or accidently starts surfing the web with firefox-2 instead of the standard firefox-3.0

Mhm this is really not a big deal, though it would be nice, if the
package could be renamed, would be more user-friendly and less
confusing.
