4.1. Binaries

It is not allowed that two packages install programs with different
functionality but with the same filenames. (The case of two programs
having the same functionality but different implementations is handled
via `alternatives.') If this case happens, one of the programs has to
be renamed. The maintainers should report this to the developers'
mailing and try to find a consensus about which package will have to
be renamed. If a consensus can not be reached, _both_ programs must be
renamed.
Rename cpasswd to codapasswd and cfspasswd in the respective packages, this
would tend to match with smbpasswd.
