Hi Jon, thank you for your pointer. I'll send an update, hopefully that is then just easily put into the release, that will conflict with the putty package. To have the binary renamed would render Debian incompatible with all those scripts distributed in the community that use that tool. I would hence not like that overly much. Being a user of putty under windows myself, I see plink for expert use only. Maybe we could eventually separate putty plink from the putty package. However, the number of installations that install both putty and plink will be rather minimal, so we should not bother too much.
Would that be acceptable to you?
