Hum. Now I'm a little confused: why did you do this?

    * Add diversion for /usr/bin/gh to allow concurrent install with gitsome
      and remove Conflicts with gitsome. This is inspired by the conflict
      resolution between the moreutils and parallel packages where both
      contain /usr/bin/parallel.  See discussions in #749355.

This seems like it's the opposite of what I was suggesting in the bug
report (#1011545). And you even refer to that bug report in the
changelog:

    * Limit "Conflicts: gitsome" to older (<< 0.8.0+ds-7.1) versions.
      Thanks to Antoine Beaupre for the suggestion, and for resolving the
      file conflict with gitsome (#1005858) so amicably! (Closes: #1011545)

What actually happened, from what I can tell, is that you just removed
the Conflicts... I don't think that's the right resolution here: gitsome
has been fixed, in unstable, and gh doesn't need to go around with fancy
diversion stuff, because we're *precisely* not in a situation like
moreutils and parallel...

Could this change be reverted?

what I did was to try and find some other words so we found the words
"public relations".      - Edward Bernays

Package: gh
Version: 2.4.0+dfsg1-2
Severity: serious

I have fixed gitsome so that it doesn't ship a /usr/bin/gh binary in
gitsome/0.8.0+ds-7.1 (which closed #1005858). Please fix the
Conflicts: so that it is versioned << 0.8.0+ds-7.1.

This is marked as "serious" because I believe that conflicting with an
unrelated package is a policy violation. I understand this is somewhat
open to interpretation, but since this package has been added to the
blocking hints anyways, I figured it was better to file an RC bug,
remove the hint, and fix this, than keeping things kind of hidden the
way they are now. :)
