Why was bison++ suggested?
Is there an overlap in commands used in these packages?
I.E. could the disambiguation be done in the packaging?
The packages "bison" and "bison++" are suggested, in Debian and
derivatives, as alternatives to provide "bison" on the command-line. The
trouble I'm trying to address with this patch is that these two "bison"
executables (or scripts - I haven't checked) do not do the same thing,
and in particular the version from "bison++" screws up compilation of
the coreutils.
I'm not sure how the disambiguation could be done in the packaging.
