The fact of using the same binary names makes it totally shady.
They seem to have taken advantage of the fact that the original author did not create official packages to basically steal the name in Ubuntu launchpad.
If the forkers are sincere they should not use the same binary names, eg "nsmd". That is totally unethical, and is technically a trojan as it misleadingly replaces on program with another without making it clear to the existing users that is a new package by a new team altogether.
libreav.org is my site, and that's an edge-case artefact of the github release feed for the new-sm project and/or the way I have configured the aggregation so far

Even the page at https://libreav.org/software/new-session-manager has broken links to files dated 2017 clearly named "non-session-manager"
