[Distutils] Sooner or later, we're going to have to be more formal about how we name packages.

Just the proof-of-concept the TUF folks created about using it to
secure /simple. I'm personally sold on the technology itself as
something we should deploy in the long run, but I think it makes sense
to wait until we have the static dependency metadata publication and
various other PyPI related infrastructure issues sorted out before we
try to offer additional protection above and beyond trusting the SSL
CA system and PyPI itself.

That said, one of the reasons PEP 426 calls out the "essential
dependency resolution" fields is that those are the ones I think it
may make sense to embed in the TUF custom metadata fields.

Cheers,
Nick.
