Overwrite Problem



Hello,
	I have a problem with two of my packages : cwi-sc-boot and cwi-sc.
cwi-sc is a compiler and cwi-sc-boot is a bootstrap for this compiler (needed to build some packages).

	In theses two packages there is a binary sc (stratego compiler), wich is also in package sc. So there is an overwite problem between cwi-sc/cwi-sc-boot and sc [1].

	I have prefixed all sc related packages with 'cwi' (since cwi is the main research lab who develops these tools), to avoid conflicts with existing packages such as aterm.

	We have to rename sc in one of the packages, which one should we choose ? If we rename sc to cwi-sc, we need to patch all packages who use this compiler, and the sc package has a lot of users (according to popularity-contest [2])..
