You can call it lynx all day long, but it won't be lynx in the Ubuntu repositories as that name is taken, and as you can see above, there are no duplicates.

Since it is a library, it won't be named lynx anyway even if there is no name collision. D3 is packaged as libjs-d3, for example.
Yeah that's true.
Oh no!

Anyway...
