Useless work IMO.

I use lunar since few months (migrated from Mandrakes: 6 to 10.1) and as new 
user I can tell you that module names in general are the same as tarballs 
names. Thanks to this it is _easier_ to install modules. There are many other 
things which are very unconfortable in SGML/Lunar. The module names are not a 
problem at all.
