I had an idea based on WebFreak's suggestion:

If more than one person registers project "X", then you can depend on 
the earliest project via "X", but must use "username/X" to depend on 
other projects with the same name.

This would be backwards compatible. I'm assuming that you can't actually 
name a project "username/X" now, right?
