Hi,

For the `daemontools` package, this would mean renaming shipped binaries and 
their manpages to implementation-specific names (as in the patch), e.g.:

* `/usr/bin/envdir` → `/usr/bin/envdir.daemontools`
* `/usr/bin/envuidgid` → `/usr/bin/envuidgid.daemontools`
* `/usr/share/man/man8/envdir.8.gz` → 
`/usr/share/man/man8/envdir.daemontools.8.gz`
* `/usr/share/man/man8/envuidgid.8.gz` → 
`/usr/share/man/man8/envuidgid.daemontools.8.gz`

The generic command names (e.g. `envdir`, `envuidgid`, etc.) could then be 
managed via `update-alternatives`.

For the `daemontools-run` package, this could allow dropping `Conflicts: runit`.

I’m not opposed to this approach, but it would need careful testing to avoid 
breaking existing setups, including updating autopkgtests that cover 
daemontools and runit combinations.
