Perhaps, but it shouldn't.  The "emacs" most people talk about is more
properly called "GNU emacs".  "emacs" actually describes a family of
extensible editors, members of which are GNU emacs, xemacs, TECO emacs
and Gosling emacs.  So by this measure the original "emacs" package name
is the confusing one.

I'm not, however, proposing that we change the GNU "emacs" package
name. :-)
