Hi Bernd,

Please, pretty please express your current opinion on this bug.  Freeze
is approaching quickly, it would be a shame to miss it again.  Will you
rename the wbemcli binary in python-pywbem?  If yes, or if you don't
want to ship python-pywbem in jessie, please reassign this bug to it.
Otherwise please drop me a note and I'll reassign this bug to
sblim-wbemcli and fix it there.
