I was wondering wheter the name of ati-fglrx-* should be changed to amd-fglrx-*, since AMD apparently abandoned ATI brand completely, e.g. all the occurences of ATI has been changed into AMD in any fglrx documentation etc.

Also, the recent package is missing the .desktop file for AMD Catalyst Control Center - Linux Edition tool. The fireglcontrol.desktop file on the other hand can be removed, as the fireglcontrol applet will be removed in the next fglrx release.
This task depends upon

I've been thinking about this - what I intend to do is drop the brand-name prefix entirely, actually, making the packages simply fglrx-* - however the description will contain many nice keywords. Something like "Proprietary drivers for AMD (formerly ATI) Radeon graphics chipsets." or the like, so that searching for AMD, ATI, radeon, graphics, proprietary could all come up with this package. ;)
