Package: namazu2-index-tools

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package fails to upgrade from
'testing'.
It installed fine in 'testing', then the upgrade to 'sid' fails
because it tries to overwrite other packages files.

>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

  Preparing to unpack .../namazu2-index-tools_2.0.21-22.1_all.deb ...
  Unpacking namazu2-index-tools (2.0.21-22.1) ...
  dpkg: error processing archive 
/var/cache/apt/archives/namazu2-index-tools_2.0.21-22.1_all.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/share/man/man1/namazu.1.gz', which is also in 
package namazu2 2.0.21-22
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/namazu2-index-tools_2.0.21-22.1_all.deb

This is caused by the 

    override_dh_installman:
            dh_installman man/namazu.1

target in debian/rules which acts on the first package being built:
* namazu2 during a separate binary-arch or
          combined binary-arch + binary-indep build
* namazu2-index-tools during a separate binary-indep build

The buildds only perform separate arch and indep builds, while the
maintainer uploaded namazu2-index-tools_2.0.21-22_all.deb seems to stem
from a combined build.

A quick fix is probably to use 

        dh_installman -pnamazu2 man/namazu.1


cheers,

Andreas
