Bug#627508: conflicting binary path for dconf and d-conf

Hi!

Both the package dconf and d-conf with its binary package dconf-tools
ship a binary with the path /usr/bin/dconf. d-conf is a utility that
originates from gnome, and whose purpose is to manage "Desktop
Environment Settings". On the other hand, dconf is a utility to dump
certain information of a system's state (configuration?).

Although dconf probably predates d-conf, I think it is very unlikely
to get path within d-conf changed: dconf-tools is installed on more
than 10000 systems, while dconf is only installed on about 170 systems.

My recommendation is to rename the binary of dconf. Maybe the binaries
name could be changed to confdumper?

Greetings from Salzburg BSP
