Well, between the 3 of us doing different packages for different
distro's for the same fonts, we should try to come up with a common
name. I use "ttf-arabeyes". It says the package is TTF, it says it is
made by Arabeyes (instead of the ae which can be confusing). I didn't
want to call it ttf-arabic or something similar because I would like to
anticipate that there will be other entities with fonts that support
Arabic (it would be presumptious to call them 'arabic-fonts' just like
that) ;)

It would be preferable if the upstream release itself had a name that we
can all follow (so in this case Sherif did the most sensible thing, to
follow the same naming scheme used by upstream).

Nadim? Any thoughts?
