This problem seems to be a lot worse than I thought. Bash doesn't like variables with hyphens in them, period. I haven't yet found anything that I can do to trick bash into accepting them. I may have to think up some conversion method or have to rewrite bash (or at least the config stuff) in something more hyphen-friendly.

I have checked in a fix that has you replace dashes in package names with X. Expect to see it in the next version.
