[Dev] [RFC] Voting about package naming for packages modified from Arch

The topic is basically "should we add '-libre' and '-parabola' to a
certain package name built by us on [libre], [libre-testing] and
[libre-multilib] repos?"
Some days ago lukeshu put a similar topic about it [0], but due which
to some users don't like the current package naming, i've propose
reopen it to decide a definitive way to solve the package naming for
packages modified from Arch from a voting to follow the 3th point of
our Social Contract [1].

The following 4 suggestions have been offered:

 1) Add the -libre suffix to all packages that are modified from Arch
    for freedom reasons (so not for rebranding reasons). (fauno)

    lukeshu: Why "except for rebranding"?

 2) Add the -libre suffix on packages for patched-source software.
    (lukeshu)

    lukeshu: Because the name "${pkgbase}-libre" denotes that it is a
    fork of "${pkgbase}" that is maintained by the Parabola project,
    similar to Iceweasel being maintained by Debian, or Linux-libre by
    GNU/the FSFLA.

 3) Don't ever use the -libre suffix (mtjm)

    Because all packages on [libre] have implicitly been modified for
    freedom.

 4) Use -libre for patched-source software, and -parabola
    for packaging or configuration changes. (coadde)

    The "-libre" policy from #2, plus using another suffix to
    differentiate between Arch's version and Parabola's version to
    avoid confusion when migrating.
