I think making one would be a good idea.
I've done a grep of contrib-head: http://drupal.pastecode.com/8783
Here are the de-facto standards:
- Modules that extend a particular "parent" module, such as CCK,
Views, Organic Groups, etc. use the "parent" module's name as the
package. I think you'd use this when your module would basically be
completely useless on its own without said parent module.
- Modules that are not useless on their own tend to be classified by
their function, such as Voting, Development, etc. There doesn't
appear to be any standardization here, but it probably makes sense
for the Drupal.org category name and package name to match.
