It should be enough to just have PACKAGENAME there, the "com.nokia"
part is appended if the name does not contain a dot. Worth noting: the
osso_initialize() does not allow dots in the name.

And yes, it's a little annoying to have different behaviour in the
.desktop and osso_initialize() for the service name. Not sure if this
was changed already, but I remember it being discussed previously
somewhere... possibly on the irc channel.

First check that it's not already requested with
  https://maemo.org/bugzilla/query.cgi

and then (after creating an account) report it with:
  https://maemo.org/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi

There's a documentation component for exactly this kind of stuff.
