I don't think it's a good idea to have a different name in PKG-INFO and in the arguments to describe the same element. we should have the same name everywhere for consistency at the end.
I don't see anything wrong about adding a simple deprecation warning here, It won't happen again for quite a while.
Distutils already had some argument name changes like that for backward compatiblity (licence<->license) but they were not displaying any warning.
What would be the problem with having both sets work and not deprecate either? (ie: make them synonyms of each other?) cheers, Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Zope & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk
