Conflicting is Not An Option. So policy says, for good reasons.

There is precedence to consider. Sarge already contains a git package
that provides /usr/bin/git. Users who update from sarge to etch would
not be served well if the software they are used to suddenly changes
name just to accommodate a newcomer.

OTOH, cogito is not in sarge; there are no prior user expectations
about what its command name should be.
