Should Epiphany browser be renamed because of conflict w/ game name?

Many Debian users are surprised when they type "apt-get
install
epiphany" and they get Epiphany, the GPL'ed clone of
the Commodore 64
game Boulder Dash.

It would be great if the epiphany game were renamed, but the
last
release was in 2003. IMO, that means it is unlikely the
maintainer still
cares about the game enough to rename the epiphany game.
(They would
have to rename the SourceForge project, all instances of the
string
"epiphany" in the game and the homepage, and
probably would have to redo
graphics. It's unlikely.)

So the only people who are likely to be able to rename their
project is
the epiphany browser project. Would it be practical to
rename epiphany
because of the confusion that this name conflict causes?
Would it be
worth the effort?

Thanks for your interest in Epiphany.

As you may be aware, there are more distro's out there
outside Debian.
There is no other distro that has a name conflict. Since
Epiphany is
actively maintained and, as you indicate yourself, the
Boulderdash
clone is in a state of abandonment, the obvious solution
from my point
of view is to remove the game from the distro, or to rename
the
package to 'epiphany-game'.
