Well, unless it looks like forutil should be removed, I think it has the
"older" rights.

However, I can understand you about breaking scripts. How about the
following: You rename the binary inside of gromacs, and until release of
etch, you use an symlink inside your package (plus a conflict on
gromacs), so that no existing script is broken now, but people are
encouraged to use the new name? (This would be a policy violation as
well, but I would be willing to etch-ignore this one, because there is a
good reason, and it doesn't really break stuff.)


Cheers,
Andi
