Comment (by ross at soi.city.ac.uk):

 I don't recall a discussion where this was agreed, but I suspect that any
 partial solution (anything short of normalized names) will just move the
 problems around.

 If foo-1.0 and FOO-2.0 and different versions of the same package, is one
 later than the other?
