use different name for package :)

i also suggest maybe git initial push should check for such conflicts, 
i.e that there isn't already package what differs only by case

with different packages it's probably not that visible,
i noticed it first with poppler-qt vs poppler-Qt which came from same 
package, meaning the version/release matched too.

when transferring rpm's to somewhere offline, using unix fs is not 
always possible!

besides, there are case insensitive filesystems which are case also 
preserving filesystems, so it works most of the time (my $HOME is hfs+ 
and running MATE 1.6 desktop just fine)
