As I see in package structure from https://gist.github.com/alexanderGugel/a10ed5655d366875a280 each package get unique id and this is became a mess of id. Why not to use human readable names in format of {package-name}-{version}-{postfix} (where prefix used to prevent names conflicts)? It also would be unique.

1. We got nice structure.
2. Sorting is more relevant.
