No, what happened was that I wrote a tetris clone and due to the patent on
the name released it under the name tclassic (Classic Tetris(tm)), but now I
came up with a better name: tint (Tetris is not Tetris(tm)).

The problem is I already released the debian package tclassic, so I
obviously need to get that out of pools if I change the name. The question
is how?
