Hi,

There's a very old bug in the Gentoo bug tracker that there's a name
collission between the courier and the ucspi-tcp package:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=223155

There are similar bug reports in plenty of other distributions:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=476489
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/9116

Debian has solved this with a complicated construction using multiple
alternatives, archlinux and gentoo simply by avoiding to install both
packages in parallel.

From what I can see the main purpose of the addcr command is that it
internally is used by the smtpd code. So I think this could probably be
renamed without causing too much trouble.

Sam, do you think we can change addcr to another name, e.g. caddcr,
addcr-courier, addcr.courier or whatever you feel is most suitable?
ucspi-tcp is very old and I doubt it'll be changed, yet it still seems
popular. And unlike the courier tool I think the ucspi-tcp tool isn't
primarily meant to be used internally, so renaming it would cause more
complications.
