The rename happened because when one of the functions was moved into 
core, someone decided to rename it along the way which broke 
compatibility with previous versions of pgAdmin.

Whilst I won't in any way deny that the adminpack was specifically 
written for pgAdmin though, I have no problem with it being enhanced to 
provide non-core functionality for other admin tools in the future... in 
fact I would encourage it. I think it's better to support as many admin 
tools as possible from one contrib module, rather than for each tool to 
have it's own.
