In spanish as probably as in other languages doesn't mean anything and
sounds strange. I think the name should be at least a simple phrase in
english so it is more universal, something like "Universal Linux
Packages Database" or similar. I also don't like the idea of using
abreviations in names, that makes the name less obvious and looks too
geeky IMO.
