*print-alternate-package-name*

If true, then the alternate package name will be used when a package qualifier is used, rather than the actual package name (though the alternate name may also be the package name). The alternate name is returned by package-alternate-name and can be set when a package is defined by make-package or defpackage. (See Extensions to cl:make-package, cl:disassemble, cl:truename, cl:probe-file, cl:open, cl:apropos and cl:defpackage and cl:in-package, both in implementation.htm, for more information on extensions to defpackage and make-package.)

If the alternate name is not set, the the first nickname in the package-nicknames list is used. The package-name is used if there are no nicknames defined. (The alternate name must be either the package name or one of its nicknames.)

See packages.htm for more information.
