Remove the dot `.` on the package name `Theme - itg.flat` #91

On https://github.com/wbond/package_control_channel/pull/2524 (Test against package names containing periods) was determinate that Sublime Text 3 cannot support package names within dot on their names. Then all the packages with dot . on their names should either be renamed without the dot, or marked as Sublime Text 2 supported.

If after sometime, a pull request to package_control_channel removing the dot . on the package name is not sent, the package will be marked as supported by Sublime Text 2 only. Currently the package is marked as supported by all versions of Sublime Text.


What steps do I need to take?

Just open a pull request on the package control channel renaming you package to a new name without a dot. On your case, the new change could be like this:

        {
            "name": "Theme - itg flat",
            "details": "https://github.com/itsthatguy/theme-itg-flat",
            "previous_names": ["Theme - itg.flat"],
            "releases": [
                {
                    "sublime_text": "*",
                    "branch": "master"
                }
            ]
        },

By using the previous_names array, everybody who has installed your package will get their installed name renamed as soon as package control starts updating the packages.
