Package: pacman
Version: 10-20
Severity: serious
Usertag: bin-games-conflict

Your package "pacman" installs its main program into
/usr/games/pacman. It also installs a .desktop file, specifying
Exec=pacman. Thus, it relies on "pacman" to be unique in the
users PATH.

This is not the case for the distribution.

The "pacman-package-manager" package can be installed simultaneously
and installs /usr/bin/pacman. Your desktop entry will thus by
default launch the "pacman-package-manager" program instead.

It is unclear how to best resolve this. Personally, I think you
should install your program into /usr/bin, picking a new name.

See the debian-policy bug 1098948 for related discussion.

If you disagree that your package should change, please reassign
this bug to *both* packages, and CC: the other maintainer.
