Renaming of the "cpulimit" package to "limitcpu", since that is its software

[Ganton]

There are:
                - The cpulimit software ("cpulimit.sourceforge.net" or "https://github.com/opsengine/cpulimit").
                - The limitcpu software (http://limitcpu.sourceforge.net/) .

            But when people install the cpulimit package... they end up realizing that they have installed the limitcpu software. Similar, but with differences that eventually cause confusions.

            This bug report is for naming this package "limitcpu" instead of "cpulimit". Just to be loyal to truth, to the author of limitcpu (who calls its software "limitcpu" not "cpulimit"), to avoid what are trademark violations, and to avoid confusions (*).

            (*) Like people installing the cpulimit package and seeing that some things don't work as they expected... because they installed the limitcpu software instead.

            I understand that not everyone has enough time to do what he thinks it's correct... but, who knows, after reporting a situation, maybe someone with enough time and resources will mend it in the future. At least, the door is open.

Of course that those bugs are different:
1) Bug: "The 'homepage' quoted in http://packages.ubuntu.com/raring/cpulimit is not correct. "
2) Bug: "Renaming of the 'cpulimit' package to 'limitcpu', since that is its software."

Also, the other bug is "expired", and the problem described in this bug still exists, as anyone with a minimal understanding of trademark laws knows.

Unmarked as duplicate.

Not that it helps to have the same arugmentation in two bug reports,
IMO, but if you prefer it this way ...

Thank you, Gregor, for all your work.

Because the description of the other bug is different, and the status of the other bug is "expired" -> I didn't expect that I, or anybody else, was going to write in the other bug report.
:-) I don't plan arguing in two bugs :-) , we can leave that other bug as expired, with my last message saying that I was going to create a new bug, a more accurate one.
