In the interest of progress then, let me summarize what I have heard so far
and see if don't have consensus.

There have been:
* 3+ votes for movabletype-os/opensource (I am counting my own vote too)
* 1 vote for movabletype-* (for auto complete purposes)
* a minority of support for other options presented.

So let's go with movabletype-os.

If there are other package manager/writers out there, let's use this naming
convention for non-debian packages as well.
