Some time back there was the opposite request to remove the prefix,
supposedly even uttered by upstream.
Personally I'd prefer it to keep the prefix. Imagine fuse-ext2 w/o the
prefix :)
I like the prefix as well. If upstream is pushing to not have the
prefix we're between a rock and a hard place. Upstream really has no
business deciding on rpm-package names... but making them angry at us is
the path to despair.
