[Debian-astro-maintainers] fitsverify now included in cfitsio: which version to use?

Dear all,

Starting with version 4.5.0, cfitsio now includes the fitsverify binary.
I have added it to the libcfitsio-bin package along with the other
tools. When receiving bug #1085050, I realized that it was already
packaged as a standalone tool.

Now there are two options:
- stop shipping it from libcfitsio-bin
- add a Conflicts + Provides: fitsverify to libcfitsio-bin and ask for
  removal of the fitsverify package from the archive. We might
  optionally add a transitional package to smooth the upgrade.

Any opinions?

Regards
Aurelien
