I don't mind renaming my scripts. One almost definitely needs renaming, a couple more are in the air because of the following.

What about proprietary software? It's only distributed as pre-built binaries (like mentioned discord, also saflashplayer). Do such packages need to be named *-bin?

What about software that is impossible to build in SBo-compatible way? Like, flutter (or maybe entire dart, I don't remember anymore) just plain refuses to run as root, so flutter-based programs (yubioath-desktop) have to be repackaged from binaries. Do such packages need to be named *-bin?
