Presumably, you are referring to the package name here as opposed to the
name of the command?

Maybe this issue could be side-stepped by putting the binary into the
'moreutils' package which already has /usr/bin/isutf8?

I agree that 'utfout' would be a less ambiguous binary name so if
moreutils isn't appropriate, I'll rename binary+package to utfout.

Kind regards,

James.
