Well the best would be if upstream could give another name, but if that's unlikely... this might be the best option. > Oke way you can help is to initiate the process of (attempting to) > kick > out (or alternatively rename) current package "delta" from Debian. I'm not really sure whether I like this either. ;-) I had a small look at the current "delta" package, and while the package is maintained by the QA group and the upstream website (http://delta.tigris.org/) named in the copyright file seems dead... the program might be still useful to some people... and it had the name first. Asking them now to rename,... well even if done politely, they may feel somehow obligated to do... or even drop the package at all, which I think would be bad. Thanks, Chris.
