In an ideal world, the -rtai package would only ship binaries/scripts that 
depend on rtai and the -rt package would ship the binaries that depend on the 
default rt kernel. All the rest would go a linuxcnc-common package or so.
Currently, Debian ships

linuxcnc-doc-de
linuxcnc-doc-en
linuxcnc-doc-es
linuxcnc-doc-fr
linuxcnc-doc-zh-cn
linuxcnc-uspace
linuxcnc-uspace-dev

Is there any scenario for which both real-time flavors would be installed at 
the same time?
Should Debian distribute them both?

A mere rename of the binary package would be trivial - only the name of the 
source package (which is linuxcnc already) should be fixed.

I had another look at https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=linuxcnc and 
like it.

Best,
Steffen
