Package: knot-dnsutils
Version: 1.4.3-2
Severity: normal

Hi,

I'd like to be able to directly compare three of the "domain information
groper" tools available in Debian: dig from the dnsutils (src:bind9)
package, drill from the ldnsutils (src:ldns) package, and kdig from the
knot-dnsutils (src:knot) package.

However, while dnsutils and ldnsutils can be installed simultaneously,
knot-dnsutils conflicts with dnsutils because it ships a /usr/bin/dig:

    lrwxrwxrwx root/root         0 2014-02-18 07:48 ./usr/bin/dig -> kdig

I think "dig" is more of a BIND-specific command name than a genericized
command name like "ping", so it would be nice if these packages could be
co-installable somehow, even if kdig implemented exactly the same
command-line interface as src:bind9's dig.

Thanks!
