it's my own aim to get some sort of uniformity with package names in
debian, so that we have $filesystem-tools for new packages. new means
basically almost anything after e2fsutils.

actually, i should rename it from nilfs2-tools to nilfs-tools.
unfortunately, in debian we have a quite stupid thing called NEW queue
which make such a simple rename have a penalty of 4 to 8 weeks of
waiting until ftp-masters unblock it. but i still might do that at some
point (unless Ryusuke dislikes it ;).

for fedora/rh, if you don't have people with a quirk for uniformity, you
might just want to go with the upstream name as it's the way of the
least surprise for the user.

Daniel
