'alien' name clash, need suggestion

I was going to add the alien package to the AUR:

http://kitenet.net/~joey/code/alien/

It is the package the creator of deb2targz suggested you use instead (in 2006!). But unfortunately, there's already an 'alien' package in the AUR, which is a lua library.

What should I call this package?

I'd suggest sending a message to aur-general maillist. You'll probably get better replies there, perhaps even 'alien' could be renamed 'lua-alien' or something.

Any news on this? If anything I'd quite like the PKG so I can install it :-)

Thanks
