Just avoidance of bloat.  Also I would need a good argument for including
both (i.e. tell me what one has that the other doesn't, and I'll consider
it).  Another way of handling this would be to do:

	Depends: bwbasic | yabasic

This shows our preference for one (bwbasic) and installs it by default
unless told otherwise.  It also means task-programming will not be removed
if bwbasic is removed and yabasic is installed in its stead.
