Package: bsdmainutils

Hi Michael,

I've noticed bsdmainutils ships a number of binaries that are also
in the util-linux source. I don't know what the upstream/maintenance
status of bsdmainutils is.

Are you interested in letting util-linux ship these binaries instead
of bsdmainutils?

AFAICT the binaries that util-linux /could/ ship today are:

* cal
* col
* colcrt
* colrm
* column
* hexdump (not sure what about hd)
* ul

>From a quick look at the manpages of each utility it would appear
that the util-linux versions support all the options that are
present in the bsdmainutils versions, but a more torough check would
be needed.

What do you think?

Chris
