Hi Charles,
I looked before at amap-align, but the package provided by your one is only amap-align, there is no "amap" installable, hence I don't think there will be a clash for the packages, right?

http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/debian-med/trunk/packages/amap-align/trunk/debian/control?view=markup

Do you think about a real installation problem or you just think having two similar packages can be misleading to users?

thanks

Gianfranco
