Not really if you know how to install ppa packages, the procedure is pretty standard like any other development ppa, the package provided in the PPA overwrite the default package proposed elsewhere official repository, other package etc.

"will possibly get worse as Canonical package nautilus and ammonkey package nautilus are updated."
Well i maintain theses packages since gnome 2.28 so ..... I think i am used to it and our users too.

As long as gnome desktop don't provide a way to choose your default filemanager we don't have any other options than to replace the nautilus package. Remind me the old time of the web browsers where you can't configure your default web browser. The same problematic occur with other filemanagers like pcmanfm etc, they have to replace nautilus binaries for a decent integration in the gnome desktop.

Your request is just invalid, renaming the package won't solve anything.
