"Linux" is a shared name we all have, thanks to the kernel.  However, a 
package "Universe" is something "invented" by Canonical for the Ubuntu 
project.  Copying their name for our pile of packages doesn't make sense.  It 
confuses the marketspace a bit, and I think we'd rather not steal a Ubuntu 
name.
