OK. The documentation is not up to date.

The name of a component package is gambas3-<vendor>-<project name>. If 
you name your project 'gambas3-trixon-testa', if you set 'trixon' as 
vendor name, then you will get the following package name: 
gambas3-trixon-gambas3-trixon-testa.

So you should name your project just 'testa'.
