[kepler-users] rename actor in kar file

[Chris Weed]

FYI, I just tried your suggestion about encapsulating the
"Deterministic Merge" actor in a composite actor,
but it wouldn't save the attribute for the input port to be a
multi-port. It would revert back to a single input port.
Seems to be a bug.
