Ah, Debian politics.  Can't we all just get along and use Arch Linux? :p

In all seriousness, I think that's an intelligent naming scheme, and I
think you should go forward with it.   It also provides a nice way of
distingushing GNUstep apps which is useful for fanboys like myself who
like to install anything with an ".app" prefix in hopes of bloating up
/opt/GNUstep/Local/Applications when they take their daily screenshot
:p
