Package: nordugrid-arc-client,zfsutils-linux
Control: block 1075856 by -1

Hi,

your packages nordugrid-arc-client and zfsutils-linux both install a program
named "arcstat", although in different components of the PATH.

As this is confusing and a possible source of bugs, policy bug
#1075856 wants to outlaw this.

Please find a solution for your packages. Ideas:
1) if one of the programs is an internal implementation detail of
the package, install it into a private path in /usr/lib instead.
2) rename one of the programs
3) rename both of the programs

Thanks,
Chris
