Nope, the package name doesn't have anything to do with the binary name.
Although you have to be reasonable, just because the upstream tarball is
called wmsysmon.app doesn't mean the package has to be called that. The
manpage should always be the same as the binary. If you binary is named
wmsysmon then your manpage should be wmsysmon.1 not wmsysmon.app.1
