Why are most people going to use superlu-dist when that's not the

but I think I can speak about DL_POLY as a DL veteran; I packaged it as
"dl_poly" and wouldn't expect people to call it "dl-poly"
(outside
Debian) or "dlpoly". The majority don't have underscores as part of
their proper name, but the guidelines cover ones that do.
I agree with preserving an underscore if it's there in the upstream
name. The guidelines mean that for a program called "Foo Bar" we
should name the package foo-bar not foo_bar. But when the official
name has an underscore I see no need to replace it.
