Hi!

[ The bug has been (correctly) bumped back to serious. Sorry that I
  have not engaged about this bug in the past, but the reply to simply
  ignore policy looked rather off-putting, I just noticed the reply
  below, which seemed encouraging! :) ]

Could you please rename the archanist /usr/bin/arc into
/usr/bin/arcanist? Or if that's not feasible, then stop installing the
symlink in PATH, and document that users might want to add the /usr/share
/arcanist/bin/ into their own PATH? Or do both?

Renaming the binary from the arc package, which matches the package
name itself, seems unfair, as it has existed upstream and has been in
the Debian archive for way way longer, and in addition the idea of
potentially having a binary package arc with a non-arc program, and
arcanist providing an arc program seems rather confusing and just
wrong. :)

Otherwise, all these package will get removed in the coming days. So I'd
also appreciate if you could reassign these bugs to arcanist.

Thanks,
Guillem
