please make sure you will name the package libarb since there is a
package arb in Debian (actually not in Debian but in non-free).

The main problem I foresee is that debian already has a src:arb package which ships
a libarb/libarb-dev pair... I noticed two things:
1. there is little filename collision (except in /usr/share/doc for changelog.Debian.gz
and copyright, of course) ;
2. the existing package is non-free.

What can I do to cope with this name issue?

As you see I have already seen there would be an issue ; notice that renaming my duplicate src:arb to src:libarb won't solve the problem that there is already binary libarb and libarb-dev packages...

What can I do to solve this collision ?

Thanks,
