It's not a matter of seniority, it's a matter of producing the highest
quality distribution.
The dpkg-iasearch package used to contain a program called dpkg-query.
When the dpkg maintainers added a program with the same name, the
dpkg-iasearch maintainer renamed his file, without worrying about
'seniority'. I think he did well to do so, don't you?
Debian would do well to rename its install-info for the same reasons.
