Well that wouldn't be first time when original name is changed for Debian
distribution. There are even cases when names of binaries are being
changed. Anyway... I don't care how package is named as far as 
`apt-cache search moc` shows me it ;)

Hm... so Michal didn't contact Damian?
Michal could you please comment it?

The proper way to start packaging software for Debian is to fill ITP. This
way we can avoid situations when two (or more) people work on the same
thing. Please make it this way next time.

Michal's package doesn't install examples twice.
And how are you going to check if moc can be even compiled on all
architectures without mention it in control file?

In fact your package has "all" so I don't understand it.

That's usually developer's choice how he/she wants to call his package.
And I'm not moc maintainer. I was only an uploader.

Grml? Anyway... Michal followed all Debian rules perfectly and that's why
I've uploaded his packages. 

I think we should wait for his comments, and then decide what to do.
There's no danger that moc will enter sid faster than after > month, 
cause NEW queue isn't handled last days at all.
