Hi, according to [1], the DMO 'handbrake' package contains nothing
executable at all, and according to [2] it appears to have epoch=1,
which I suspect will take precedence over the Debian package of
the same name which actually contains executables but has epoch=0.

So the issue arose because DMO splits 'handbrake' into 3 packages
(handbrake, handbrake-cli,handbrake-gtk) one of which contains nothing
executable. Whereas Debian uses only 2 packages and puts the GUI
version into the 'handbrake' package.
