I am aware of that, and am looking at what to do about it. As far as I
can tell there are two things that can be done:
Change the name of the binaries to something like sendpage-client and
sendpaged to remove the name overlap,
or use a Conflicts: dependency, not allow this package to be installed if
hylafax-client already is.
Certainly, a Conflicts: would be far easier, but is this an approriate
reason to declare a conflict? The packaging manual doesn't seem too clear
on if there's reasons that are ok or not to declare a conflict.
Any advice from the veterans?
