This seems ... quite a striking error. What on earth possessed them to pick the name `dune' ? Even if they couldn't be bothered to do a Debian file search, https://www.google.com/search?q=dune+software https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dune_(software) https://www.google.com/search?q=%2Fusr%2Fbin%2Fdune Under the circumstances it seems obvious that no-one should be allowed the name /usr/bin/dune.
