There's upstream's names, and there's the pkgsrc norm of having
all-versioned or only 1.  The problem with "getmail" and "getmail6" is
that it tells users that getmail is the standard approach, instead of
telling them there are two versions in pkgsrc, and thus implicitly that
they should read both DESCRs to decide which they want.
