To me the second and third make it look like the package is part of
the existing parallel package - perhaps rust bindings to parallel -
and not an entirely different program.

In other words, I could see people install parallel-rust because "it
must be part of the parallel package" based on its naming and not
realize it is an entirely different program doing the same thing.
