Hi Bill, thanks for the answer!
during the preparation of a new version of package "nq" (via NMU) it was found that there exists a file conflict with package "fq" (#1005961), which was incorrectly solved in the past. For now I unarchived and reopened the old issue. According to the policy:
As first approximation, the oldest package win, for the simple reason that doing the other way would break users scripts, and it is not in the interest of Debian to encourage upstream to hijack each other program names.
Well, then: nq is the older package and has a (slightly) higher popcon.
After that the maintainers or the ctte could agree to operate a transition to other names.
Is there anything, which needs to be done from maintainer side? Hilmar -- sigfault
