Yes. poEdit is a horrible name. Command names should be all lowercase.
Did you check with upstream about this, by the way? They may have
preferences about the name, and they're likely to want to avoid the
name collision if you point it out to them.
Did you contact the maintainer of the other package? It might be
easier to change the name there, because its poedit is not the
primary tool of the package.
