I should probably rename backup to afs-backup.  It's a horrible name for a
program; the only excuse is that it was 1985 and people didn't know
better.  But the native AFS backup software isn't widely used any more.

The only drawback is that it's a whole command suite with a lot of
subcommands with their own documentation, so a lot of docs will be wrong.
I'll check with upstream about this.

A conflict with openafs-client isn't really desireable, since that's a
pretty widely installed package at sites that use AFS.  Failing renaming,
I'm inclined to split all the backup software off into a separate package
that you can conflict with, since most people aren't using it.  (That
would be backup, butc, and fms.)
