Pub: installed name should be based on pubspec name, not URL

My pubspec looks like:

name: 'googlefoo-samples'
dependencies:
  googlefoo:
    git: https://code.google.com/p/google-foo-dart-client

The intent being to import as #import('package:googlefoo/...');
However this gets installed as packages/google-foo-dart-client, and can only be imported as 'package:google-foo-dart-client/...'.
Since the names are specified in the pubspec, is there any reason not to use them?

(I can't change the project name, it's a cross-language convention).

Added Area-Pub, Triaged labels.

Added this to the M1 milestone.

Pub now requires the name in the pubspec to match the name extracted from the Git repo. Allowing the sort of renaming suggested in this issue would break transitive dependencies.
