Ah, right -- I will take care of that.

The 'fsl' package only provides /usr/bin symlinks for all tools in the
'fsl-4.1' package -- users do not need to have them, that is merely a
convenience package that avoids configuring the environment manually.
Due to a number of rather generic names multiple file conflicts with
other packages exists -- none of them can be dealt with using the
alternatives system. It was my impression that a package conflict would
be appropriate, since the only other possibility would be to not have
such a package at all. Moreover, the scope of any of these packages makes
it rather unlikely that they get installed on the same system.
