On "Other Packages": an application written in PHP or such like should not have a php- prefix at all. A Smarty package should be called "smarty" (following the "upper-case is evil" rule of packaging).
Indeed, this is correct. The php-* (and php-pecl/pear) namespace are
reserved for items that add new functionality/modules to PHP, not for
applications written in PHP.
Smarty is not an application in itself; it's a library of PHP code used in other applications. As such it adds functionality to PHP...

Then (in the case of smarty), it does need to be in the php namespace. I
think if its not a pecl/pear, but it adds functionality to PHP, then it
should be php-%{name}.

Which is good, since it's already in Extras as php-Smarty
