Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package failed to install
because it tries to overwrite other packages files.

>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

  Selecting previously unselected package key-mapper.
  Preparing to unpack .../92-key-mapper_1.0.0-2_all.deb ...
  Unpacking key-mapper (1.0.0-2) ...
  dpkg: error processing archive 
/tmp/apt-dpkg-install-2ISUCX/92-key-mapper_1.0.0-2_all.deb (--unpack):
   trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/keymapper/__init__.py', 
which is also in package keymapper 0.6.2
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-2ISUCX/92-key-mapper_1.0.0-2_all.deb

/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/keymapper/__init__.py is the only file
name used by both packages.

The 'keymapper' package has been in the archive since 2004 (and also has
the better match on the conflicting file name), so 'key-mapper' should
probably rename its (internal?) python module.

Note: Conflicts/Breaks/Replaces are *NOT* a valid solution in this case
where unrelated packages are involved.


cheers,

Andreas
