Package names and illegal file names

I presume I am not the first to complain :
we must enforce rules for package naming.

For example
'Issue 3191: SparseLargeArray-MarcusDenker.2.mcz'
has both a colon and an horizontal tabulation.

It's screwing windows users (no possibility to update the system)
because such filename is illegal.
