Re: Bug#1017716: ITP: muon-meson -- Meson-compatible build system

Debian specifically disallows providing the same binary path from multiple
packages in cases where the two binaries do not do the same thing with
roughly the same arguments [1].  It would create a situation where
/usr/bin/muon on different Debian systems can do wildly different things depending on what packages are installed or even on what order in which they're installed. That in turn creates user confusion, can cause weird problems, etc. It's just too surprising for users for the same binary to
be entirely different things on different Debian systems with the same
major release installed.

Thanks, thinking about this a bit more made me realize that yeah, it's better not to do this.

As mentioned by Vincent, I'll try asking the Qt/KDE team about this conflict.

Thank you all for the feedback!
