Description

When downloading/installing a plugin or theme, it seems the slug is namified (sentence case, dashes to spaces, no capital_P_dangit()). Ideally the item name would be used, or alternatively the actual slug.

In some cases the mismatch can get rather confusing: wordpress-seo is the slug for Yoast SEO.

Research direction

Done means the installed item uses its actual name or actual slug, so cases such as wordpress-seo and Yoast SEO no longer produce a confusing mismatch.
