* Package name : dt
Note that you will have to rename dt's binary (and its manpage), as the
ditrack package already installs /usr/bin/dt.
Thanks for the heads up.
Any suggestions? dnstool maybe?
What if dt would just conflict with ditrack? It doesn't seem like a
popular package (popcon 10):
https://qa.debian.org/popcon-graph.php?packages=ditrack
Upstream also seems to be mostly dead (no release since 2008)...
Solving this kind of issue with a Conflicts line is against the Policy,
I recently had this conversation in debian-devel and the answer was: No.
The binary from ditrack could in principle be renamed instead of the one
in your package. I would prefer this solution, but it has to be
discussed in debian-devel (the policy is explicit on this).
If you end up renaming, I think 'dnstool' is a good fit. You could also
try to ask upstream if they would consider renaming the project. I don't
think it's a good idea to claim a 2-letter command in 2019.
Looking forward to see it packaged anyway.
