Package: yp-tools
Version: 3.3-1
Severity: important
Usertags: usrmerge

The package installs some files in /usr/bin/:

/usr/bin/domainname
/usr/bin/nisdomainname
/usr/bin/ypdomainname

which have the same name of file installed by the hostname package in 
/bin/, so this breaks the package when installed on a marged /usr system.

For more information about merged /usr please see
https://wiki.debian.org/UsrMerge and
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/users/md/usrmerge.git/plain/debian/README.Debian

I do not know exactly how yp-tools is supposed to work, but this kind of 
setup is definitely not correct because both programs may be called by 
different software depending on the $PATH, boot progress and explicit 
paths.

If the files are not actually needed then they should not be installed 
at all, but if they must be used instead of the ones provided by 
hostname then yp-tools should divert these and install its own binaries 
in /bin/.
