the usual end user application do not have a problem with this. However developer and power users expect these files names to be in lower case, e.g. for locating them with find and other tools. Also putting this file name in lower case would have Ubuntu conform more with Linux Standard Base (LSB).

On my developer machine with more than 2000 Ubuntu packages installed, inside /usr/share there is not a single file that has upper case in its file name extention.

Fixing this will make the file easier to find by conforming to general exceptions on case conventions. I agree that these expectations might not be perfect, but with this minor change, at least this file will not be forgotten in operations done by power users or developers.
