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

Keep it linux-libre.  These packages are replacements only in package
metadata, they already use e.g. different file names.

Name the browser iceweasel, don't rename calibre, sdl, etc.

> Also, we are using mksource to create modified sources without nonfree

Do it like Debian: keep the original package names, rename source files.
