If the upstream package is an i18n name, how do you make up an ASCII name for it? 2. What is the technical reason to restrict package names to ASCII? NOTE: I do not consider broken apps a good reason, although I could understand for example having to wait before allowing non-ASCII name to when python is fixed, just to name a core package that may have problems.
