Package: git-changelog
Version: 2.9.3-2
Severity: serious
Justification: violates Debian policy section 10.1
Control: affects -1 + git-extras
git-changelog declares a Conflict with git-extras. Policy section 10.1
requires that this is reserved for cases where different packages
implement the same functionality. However, git changelog behaves quite
differently between those two packages. If you compare
`git changelog -h` (from git-changelog) to `git changelog --help` (from
git-extras), you immediately observe that there is little overlap in
options. Indeed, using --help on git-extras or -h on git-changelog gives
different results even. It is fairly obvious that these do not provide
the same functionality.
It also is clear that this kind of bug is contentious. For instance, a
similar conflict about rename (util-linux vs perl) was brought to the
CTTE as #966468. There, it was ruled that neither the Conflict nor
alternatives mechanism could be used. I argue that this case is very
similar.
