True. And this is unfortunate, because it is not functional at all.

The "problem" is that the pascal unit generated for a package has the
same name as the package and often conflicts with a unit in the package. 
IMO it would be better to prefix it automatically.  (fpmake does this when
it makes a build unit)

MyPackage.lpk -> build_Mypackage.pas
or maybe
MyPackage.lpk -> run_Mypackage.pas
MyPackage.lpk -> ide_Mypackage.pas
Depending on what you chose for package options.

That way you would not need to prefix your package name with anything, 
unless you split your package in a design and runtime package. In the latter
case the prefix (or suffix) is still functional: it tells you that it is run
or design...
