Unfortunately, I'm following the standard naming scheme. We label all
plugins "bzr-XXX" so that it isn't confusing on Launchpad. Eg 'bzr-git'
is the plugin for 'git' interoperability. Since we are already naming it
'bzr-XXX', then you have to specify a target name anyway. We added the
code in the importer to help people realize that they need to rename it
to conform to python standards.

If this plugin were packaged, the packaging would make sure it was put
with the correct name. It is only an issue for people checking out directly.
