Okay, not the *package*, but definately that executable which is
part of the binary.

It's a very simple fix. All that needs to be done, is don't register
btmakemetafile.bittornado as an alternative to btmakemetafile.bittorrent, or
at least decrease it's priority below that of btmakemetafile.bittorrent.
I'm not convinced it's as low severity as wishlist. At least, if
this was "vi" we were talking about, if an alternative was installed that
no longer accepted the historic "+" line number selector, I'm sure people
would be screaming bloody murder... but then again, you make a good point
for it not being grave: It's only one executable in the package, that almost
nobody uses anyways.
Thanks,
