That is a good point.  Quoting from the policy:

“If this case happens, one of the programs must be renamed. The maintainers 
should report this to the debian-devel mailing list and try to find a 
consensus about which program will have to be renamed. If a consensus cannot 
be reached, both programs must be renamed.”

Are you aware if this case was discussed on debian-devel?
