Nothing you can do, but it would not be hard to
add a macro to differentiate the internal from the
external name of a "package" when displaying.

Lemme noodle a bit this week ... differentiating
internal names from display names likely needs
to happen for i18n (and encoding) reasons.

The classic example illustrating the problem is

     $ rpm -qi popt | grep Name
     Name        : popt                         Relocations: (not  
relocatable)

Should "Name:" be translated or not? Strong arguments both
for and against translating can be made.

The issue seems to be looming Yet Again, judging from this recent RFE:

(Note that I've known Goran for years, our discussion goes way way  
way back ...)

Your request is really part of a much larger puzzle ...
