Well, by default rake joins the same tasks together, if

desc "FOO"
task :foo do
    puts "FOO"
end

is defined twice

'rake -T' prints:
rake foo                      # FOO / FOO

and 'rake foo' prints:
FOO
FOO

'rake package' should not behave this way.

It's possible to redefine a task, but it's not simple,
see e.g. http://blog.jayfields.com/2008/02/rake-task-overwriting.html
or http://snippets.dzone.com/posts/show/2032

But IMO this should not be a problem, majority of modules should use the 
predefined
targets, redefining should be very rare.
