As there is a very small chance users would want to install *both*
packages, can't we just resolve this with a Breaks: on both sides, or
anything else that prevents co-installation from happening?

Else I think for the various reasons it's indeed the arcanist package
that should move. Although I have concerns here since (arcanist's) arc
program is a command line tool and therefore users will have created
scripts around it.

About the policy - I think the idea behind it is right, and colliding
file names are a problem. Can you think of a better way to handle this?

"Interest" yes, strong interest ... there's always something more
important barring me from working on it :(  Anyway, I'm willing to
through a few brain cycles on the problem tonight. Guillem, if you or
anybody else have suggestions, I'm all ears.
