Yeah, but I can't think of a better name, short of sticking my initials
on the end, which is what I did at sourceforge (although the "pim"
project is old and never released files.)
I can't think of a pragmatic approach. My current inclination is to
name the package "pim-tb" and still have the binary just be called
"pim", and it could conflict with any future package with also provides
/usr/bin/pim.
Alternately, I could name the binary "/usr/bin/pim_tb", or just try to
come up with completely different unique name.
What's the most pragmatic thing to do?
