While we're at it, let's rename all mono packages to mono-<pkg>, all 
java packages to java-<pkg>, and all C packages to c-<pkg>. That way the 
user can focus on what's really important to a user (the programming 
language of the software) as opposed to irrelevant things like its brand 
name that the user can identify and recognize :)
