Package: exfatprogs
Version: 1.1.2-2
Severity: normal

Please coordinate with exfat-utils maintainer and use the alternative
system to allow both packages to be installed at the same time, with
both of them Providing a virtual package so that reverse dependencies
like exfat-fuse and udisks2 can depend on the virtual package if they
only use compatible command-line options or only Recommend for human
use.

This is the preferred method for dealing with multiple packages that
provide different implementations of the same command (see Policy 3.9
Maintainer Scripts).  This method has the advantage that if one or both
of the would-be conflicting packages have additional functionality not
in the other package (e.g. tune.exfat which is in exfatprogs but not in
exfat-utils), both can be installed, making the combined functionality
available.
