Indeed, but as you know generic names are frowned upon by the FTP masters in 
Debian... I initially released Preferences.app as "preferences" and had to 
rename it "preferences.app". 

So you either prefix everything with gnustep (once upon a time they were 
gstep-* ) or you use the gnustep prefix for the base packages and add a .app 
for the application ones.
