Agreed.

How would you make sure the upgrade path doesn't get broken?

Ok, how about epiphany then? The official name is "epiphany-browser" and
there also is a game called epiphany, that is older than the browser.
What are we going to do if someone wanted to package the game? Even if
we renamed epiphany to epiphany-browser we would still have a conflict
with %{_bindir}/epiphany.
