I don't think it is that much matter of words, but matter of culture. 
Wandering provenpackagers (although they were not called that then) were 
the most striking difference for me when I came from the Debian world, 
where the possesion of the package is much stronger concept. Probably 
with increasing number of Ubuntu converts coming to Fedora world, we 
need to stress this more?
