Package: chicken-bin
Severity: important

Dear Chicken Maintainer,

since the Mono 2.0 transition in Debian [0] the mono-devel package
contains a version neutral compiler command (csc) as part of the SDK
tools for the CLI (Common Language Infrastructure) suite:
csc - C# compiler [1]
sn - Strong Name (key) tool [2]
gacutil - GAC management tool [3]
al - Assembly Linker [4]
resgen - Resource Generator [5]

The conflict is not present with the current Mono in lenny and
unstable, as they only ship mcs (targeting CLI 1.1) and gmcs (targeting
CLI 2.0). Thus I used a non-RC severity.

My suggestion is to upload a chicken version to experimental
with /usr/bin/csc.chicken (or similar) to solve this conflict.

thanks!

PS: We had already similar issues with Portable .NET in the past
shipping al, ilasm and resgen which where renamed to *.pnet at that
time.
