The Debian 'pip' package from 2002 was not the same program as
today's 'pip'; that one eventually got removed from the archive.
So the popcon numbers are not directly comparable.
Regarding whether we should package these tools at all, I could
note that the Perl policy makes provisions for users who install
modules from CPAN [0], and this seems like just a special case to me.

So I think we need to keep both tools, and should focus on resolving
the overlapping binary names.
