Indeed. just 'publish' sounds a bit funny but why not.
opam doesn't support renaming very well. A workflow to have it done transparently to users could be:
- create a new package publish.0.3.1
- create a new empty package opam-publish.0.3.1 that depends on publish.0.3.1
- make publish conflict with earlier opam-publish versions
This way an `opam upgrade` can pick up the name change.
We can also, of course, keep an alias.

> I notice that "opam publish" doesn't autoinstall the plugin (as occurs with depext). This is because the OPAM package name is "opam-publish" instead of simply "publish". Should we rename it, or duplicate the package metadata so that the autoinstallation works?
