And I agree with you. The gitsome package already installs two binaries: one is called "gh" and the other is called "gitsome". It seems to me it could simply drop the "gh" alias and none would be the worse. SZ, in your February 26 message[1], you explicitly asked the gh package maintainers to rename their package, which was refused. It seems the concensus that has developped in the following thread is that it is instead your package, gitsome, that should have its binary renamed. Pabs suggested `gitsome` could also be renamed to `git-some` which would make it visible as a `git some` subcommand, from what I understand. It seems like the `gh` alias is kind of an alias unrelated with the main functionality of the package. SZ, do you agree with removing the `gh` binary from the `gitsome` binary package? I'd be happy to send a NMU to do this if you agree, which would unblock `gh` from migrating into testing. Otherwise, how can we reach consensus on this? The policy says that if we can't reach consensus, *both* packages need to be renamed, and that seems like a situation where we would all lose. I'll also point out that the upstream issue hasn't seen any activity since pabs commented on it in February, so it doesn't seem like we can count on upstream to fix this for us. The issue has been open for 2 years now. Thank you for your time!
