Convenience, hmm... Personally, I find it confusing if the name of this emulator would be: visual_boy_advance or something like that, while the package on the internet is named: VisualBoyAdvance . Similarly, a lot of Java packages use naming conventions like this.

The meta attributes are already there.

All packeges should follow this convention for the convenience of NixOS
users.
