My vote would be for movabletype-opensource.
In Ubuntu, with apt-get, I'll sometimes do something such as:  apt-get
install firefox-<tab tab> to see a list of various packages (I know I can do
it various other ways, too).  Packaging it as movabletype-opensource would
be pretty explicitly clear as to what it is.

That's my 2 cents.
