Package: ucspi-tcp
Version: 1:0.88-2
Severity: important

The "ucspi-tcp" created by Gerrit Pape breaks all packages produced from
"ucspi-tcp-src" created by Jon Marler. It does this in two ways, first it
uses the "ucspi-tcp" package name that ucspi-tcp-src has been using for
it's output packages for 10 years. Second, by using an epoch, ucspi-tcp
always appears to be more recent to `dpkg`.


I believe this actually qualifies for a severity of "critical", while
both package the same program, the two packaging jobs are otherwise
unrelated. Failing that, I believe this qualifies as "serious" due to
violating Debian policy 3.1 (non-unique package name). I'm submitting
this with a severity of "important" since the rules are debatable in this
situation.
