Subject: Tighten repository name requirements

By requiring repository names to also be valid package names, a package
mangler may treat repositories as packages. This then allows, for
example, a user to 'install' a repository, which would instruct the
package manager to perform the relevant configuration (including
installing any masters) and syncing.
