Package: num-utils
Severity: critical

Hi, thanks for introducing num-utils, it looks interesting.

The conflict with gromacs is disappointing. There's no good reason why the
two shouldn't be able to coexist if the name clash with average can be
resolved.  Is there a more constructive way of dealing with it than just
putting in a Conflicts?  

Perhaps rename it as nu-average? Or av or avg, which would be more in
keeping with the traditional minimalist naming of unix command line
utilities, which num-utils purports to contribute to.

I set this bug to critical, which might be a bit of overkill but I did so on
the grounds that the package interferes with an unrelated package (causes
gromacs to be marked for removal when num-utils is selected for
installation). 

Thanks,
Drew
