[Pkg-zfsonlinux-devel] Bug#1063457: zfsutils-linux abuses Conflicts in violation of policy 10.1

Package: zfsutils-linux
Version: 2.2.2-5~exp3
Severity: serious
Justification: Debian policy section 10.1

zfsutils-linux declares Conflicts with nordugrid-arc-client, because
both provide /usr/bin/arcstat. This conflict is in violation of Debian
policy 10.1:

| Two different packages must not install programs with different
| functionality but with the same filenames.

The name arcstat is currently owned by nordugrid-arc-client and cannot
be taken over by zfsutils-linux simply by declaring a conflict.
