Rust has 'crates'
Crystal has 'shards'
Python has 'wheels'
Ruby has 'gems'

Frankly, I simply hate all that shuffle around names ... it's so difficult to understand people when it's referring to them ...we already had to remember a gazillion on things, including horrible ubuntu names instead of simple numbers! :-)

Packages are ... well packages!

:-P

That's something else, it's more related to the internal codename.
Very common for Operating systems. I've seen usage for other software.
Often they are forgotten quickly.

There was more than one. They had to be distinguished somehow.
