Doing a quick, informal skim through my box, there are:

- -script*: 0
   -util: 2
  -utils: 22

So, IMHO, spacewalk-utils is the most consistent with other packages of
a similar nature.  I'm also anti-script* due to package naming in RHN,
Satellite, etc that has a *similar* name but used for a completely
different purpose.

I'm all about coming up with a list (perhaps on the wiki) with
suggestions of what things in  scripts and contrib we think we should
and should not add to this new package.

Thanks.
Brandon
