$ apt-cache show arch; apt-cache show larch; apt-cache show tla
Package: arch
[snip]
Description: transitional package
This dummy package exists only to smooth upgrades to larch. It may be
removed once the upgrade has completed.
Package: larch
[snip]
Description: revision control system
arch is a revision control system with features that are ideal for
projects
characterised by widely distributed development, concurrent support of
multiple releases, and substantial amounts of development on branches.
It can be a replacement for CVS and corrects many mis-features of that
system.

larch is the implementation of arch in shell and C, by Tom Lord.

It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you use tla instead of larch. This
package is provided for backwards-compatibility purposes, since tla
is not a drop-in replacement for larch.
Package: tla
