As I said before, the point is that the PMS isn't consequent, and
that there is a discrepancy between Portage and the PMS. Portage
is stricter because it also forbids package names like foo-1a or
foo-1_alpha that could be confused with a package name followed by
a version.
(Something along the lines of "a hyphen followed by a digit must not
occur anywhere in a package name" would be even simpler. We cannot
do that because there are packages like font-adobe-100dpi that don't
conform with it.)
