[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#1098984: ncbi-entrez-direct, acedb-other: ship conflicting file

ncbi-entrez-direct has a longstanding practice of sidestepping it by
diverting acedb-other's efetch in favor of a heuristically driven
wrapper that runs either the diverted instance or its own code,
depending on usage.  (Their syntax is conveniently very different.)

Likewise for einfo, as also found in epub-utils.

Thanks for checking, though!
