With my Fedora packager hat on, a rename would make it easier in Fedora
land as well. It's definitely not something that's absolutely required,
we could use the gnome-games name as well, but a rename would make it a
bit nicer. Also, this would avoid silly downstream fragmentation where
it's called by one name in some distros and by a different name in other
distros that need to rename it.
