bacon has an undeclared file conflict. This may result in an unpack
error from dpkg.

The file /usr/bin/bacon is contained in the packages
 * bacon/3.11.0-1+b1 as present in unstable
 * ruby-bacon/1.2.0-6.1 as present in bookworm|bullseye|trixie|unstable
I've talked to upstream, they suggested a Breaks for the time being.
I agree and would close this bug by doing so in an upcoming upload.

If we are to dispute the package name, neither of the two sides is 
overwhelmingly advantageous:
ruby-bacon is there for over a decade, but it's Ruby specific and has a low 
popcon;
bacon (src:rust-bacon) is more generic, and would predictably grow more popcon 
due to its modern audience, but is only recently packaged.
It would become a political problem, rather than a technical one.
