They are using that convention for every package across the entire 
distribution. I'm not sure why, but it may have something to do with the 
fact that it looks like Mandriva may be moving away from urpmi/rpm to 
mpm/mdvpkg, based on conversations I'm seeing on cooker around trying to 
get that combination to function properly, and to do things like not 
auto remove orphans.
