Thanks for your comment. I have been awaring it before I did ITP.

In the fact, binary package name of xml parser's crimson is
libcrimson-java that belong debian java policy. It doesn't install
anything in usr/bin. I think my crimson and Uwe's crimson doesn't
conflict. Source package name is xml-crimson that is same as
upstream's directory name. It doesn't also conflict to your package.
I give control header following:

# apt-cache show libcrimson-java
Package: libcrimson-java
Status: install ok installed
Priority: optional
Section: libs
Installed-Size: 4030
Maintainer: Takashi Okamoto <tora@debian.org>
Source: xml-crimson
Version: 1.1.20010605-1
Depends: java-common
Description: XML parser which support the Java API for XML Processing (JAXP)
 Crimson supports the Java API for XML Processing (JAXP)
 version 1.1 specification by providing implementations for the following
 package hierarchies: javax.xml.parsers, org.w3c.dom, org.xml.sax.*.

Don't worry, you don't need to change your package name, Uwe.

Regards.
