Honestly, I don't know how you (as a team) ended up with such a name.

Having a clear short description is not a valid reason to keep that
name, IMO. And such a name may not be appropriate because it's too
general. "live-usb-creator" tells you what the program does, without
reading its short description.

We are talking about a NEW package in *Debian*, right? Besides, it
shouldn't be that hard to rename a package.
