Bug#768388: [Cs-dev] Bug#768388: csound, cs: error when trying to install together

[Steven Yi]

Hi Felipe,

I don't know how many users use cs or extract.  I guess if we change names,
there's a possibility we might break user's scripts or tools if they depend
on those names.  On the other hand, if you're doing renaming for extract
and no one has really complained, I suppose changing cs won't be a big
issue either. One thing though, either way if you rename the generated cs
binary or do so in the debian package, I think we should add a note to the
manual about the alternate names.

Thanks!
steven
