Oh, very nice - that's the bast that can happen to a Debian package !

Allright then, so this is what we have:
* Both upstream maintainers would not like having their excutable
renamed for Debian packaging.
* request-tracker (or webrt as it used to be called) has been around for
quite a while now while schedutils is new to the Debian archive.
* The RT project itself seems to be far older than the schedutils one in
general.
All this does certainly lean towards RT having a stronger claim towards
its executable name, so I would like to propose the following:
* rt.c - rt
* Command-line utility for manipulating a task's real-time attributes
So would it not be feasible to rename rt as rta (for real-time
attributes) or modrt/chrt (for modify/change real-time attributes) ?
The latter would go very well with lsrt (for list real-time attributes)
which is already part of schedutils.
Making that alteration upstream would also benefit other distributions
which might encounter the same exec conflict and ensure that schedutils
is not know under different exec names in different distros...
