Hi, very close to done, sorry again for the delay. The only remaining issue is the pollution of the /usr/bin namespace. As you brought up in a private mail, there are no conflicts but the names of some commands may be confusing to Debian users, and some are simply useless. The useless ones have been pruned from the package, that was an easy decision. I have been considering whether there is any alternative to installing the rest of the commands in /usr/bin as they are given from upstream. My mentor suggested moving the files to a private directory that is not in the default PATH, and add it for users or scripts that want to use the provided commands. I'm not sure that this would help Debian more than it would hurt legitimate packages and user scripts that use yum-utils. Or, since the package is Priority: extra, it should only be installed by users who already know what they are getting, so perhaps that plus a verbose description of the contents and the use-case of the package is enough. You brought this to my attention initially with the needs-restart command, which the package is no longer installing. Do you have any other ideas or opinions on this issue?
