The package identifier must be repository-wide unique.

This sounds like a bad idea. Compare the packages such as:
HTML_Table vs DB_Table
Net_IMAP vs Mail_IMAP
Console_Color vs Images_Color
Auth_HTTP vs HTTP itself.
As you can see, there's currently already too many packages that have colliding package
identifiers. Perhaps it'd be better to state that package identifiers need to be unique to
their category.
