Well there are different ways to solve it then to rename the package.
Having the user use a vpn, ssh tunnel or a proxy is one thing but
requires user action. Another solution would be to have redirects on
the mirrors based on lets say the hash value of the package name ... I
doubt any country would censor a string like
"d799bae6088a90139b415fccb011d540531df83b" (sha1 of "proxy") ... the
question is whether this is worth the effort or not.
