Propose that the package be made obsolete on debian-devel.  After the
discussion is resolved, file a bug against ftp.debian.org to make the
change.

Just because packages provide similiar functionality doesn't mean that
one is obsolete.  You'd have to make the case that one package really
is superior in every way to another.
