[Python-apps-team] Bug#632473: s3ql: file conflict with pcp

Package: s3ql
Version: 1.0.1-1
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 6.6(4)

s3ql is impossible to install alongside pcp:

Unpacking s3ql (from .../archives/s3ql_1.0.1-1_all.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/s3ql_1.0.1-1_all.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite '/usr/share/man/man1/pcp.1.gz', which is also in package pcp 3.5.2
dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe)

I'm directing the BTS to send a copy of this report to pcp's
maintainer as well; however, I feel that the older pcp has a better
claim to the name and as such would recommend that s3ql rename its pcp
script (and corresponding man page) to something along the lines of
parallel-cp or s3ql-pcp.

Could you please look into doing so?

Thanks!
