It sounds silly because the behavior becomes non-predictable. The correct solution is Solomon’s judgment: whenever such name clashes occur, force *both* packages to rename the binary, and have all reverse dependencies in Debian use the renamed path. This way, the user can add a symbolic link in /usr/local/bin if he wants to use a third-party package that requires the use of a generic name. Cheers, -- .''`.
