      As long as we have packages in our repo with "10gen" in the name, they're going to be confusing. We should figure out how to deprecate them.

      For example, in Ubuntu: 

      ubuntu@ip-10-238-189-24:~$ sudo apt-cache search mongodb-
libmongodb-perl - Mongo Driver for Perl
mongodb-clients - object/document-oriented database (client apps)
mongodb-dev - object/document-oriented database (development)
mongodb-server - object/document-oriented database (server package)
mongodb-10gen - An object/document-oriented database
mongodb-10gen-unstable - An object/document-oriented database
mongodb-10gen-unstable-mongos - An object/document-oriented database
mongodb-10gen-unstable-server - An object/document-oriented database
mongodb-10gen-unstable-shell - An object/document-oriented database
mongodb-10gen-unstable-tools - An object/document-oriented database
mongodb-org-unstable - An object/document-oriented database
mongodb-org-unstable-mongos - An object/document-oriented database
mongodb-org-unstable-server - An object/document-oriented database
mongodb-org-unstable-shell - An object/document-oriented database
mongodb-org-unstable-tools - An object/document-oriented database
ubuntu@ip-10-238-189-24:~$

      (The summaries listed are old, pre-SERVER-10920)
      (unstable packages will go away pending SERVER-10874)

      Maybe we should update the summaries to include "official" for mongodb-org* packages and "deprecated" or "legacy" for mongodb-10gen* packages.
