Same purpose, somewhat different program: q3 takes into
account quite a few more variables, and people _may_ have to
recalculate with q2 at some point (say, for litigation matters).

However, they can always do so without having to rely on
Debian offering a qrisk2.

So, technically, it seems the right thing to provide qrisk2
and qrisk3, but q2 will/is supposed to fall into disuse
sooner rather than later, so there goes ...
