Possibly, because the package grew out of megrok.chameleon which grew
out of another package that provided different pagetemplate engines
(Genshi, I think) and had to mark the differences in names. Clearly not
a valid reason any more.

I agree. The only reason to keep ChameleonPageTemplate would be to stay
backward-compatible. Don't know, however, whether it is used widely.
