I have taken this path as well (e.g.; com.ubuntu.camera,
com.ubuntu.calculator) and thought that if Canonical PES later itself
developed extra packages they would live in com.canonical.*, Verizon
would be com.verizon.* and so on.

This brings in the thought of why click is not /opt/com.ubuntu.click
instead of /opt/click.ubuntu.com, although in itself it is not a click
package.
