See if it's feasible to get the other package renamed as well; that way, people who go purely by the program name (say they've used the program you're packaging on another distro) won't get confused by the different binary name. Also see if you can get the program name changed upstream -- 'mkimage' is a woefully generic name. - Matt -- Ubuntu-motu mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-motu
