What's the issue here?  rpmorphan doesn't use some terms
consistently with other packages in Fedora, but lots of
Fedora packages are inconsistent with each other.  The
packaging guidelines don't say everything must be consistent,
otherwise we wouldn't be able to ship Perl, Python, KDE and
Gnome at the same time.

As a packager it's not my job to work out if a package
overlaps with the functionality of another, or to see if
it does everything consistently with every other part of
Fedora.  I just want to know that it's Free software and
that it adheres to the guidelines, which it does.
