Bug#505309: Source package name clash?

["Pier Luigi Pau" <pigipau@gmail.com>]

snow (Steganography using ASCII files) was uploaded with the same
source package name that was used for binary package r-cran-snow (GNU
R package for 'simple network of workstations').

In fact, the Package Tracking System is showing testing transition
excuses for snow, along the lines of r-cran-snow being out of date on
every arch (obviously, the new source package doesn't build it). Not
that this matters much because of the Lenny freeze.

I searched mailing lists for references on whether this was a planned
move, with r-cran-snow being slated for reupload as src:r-cran-snow in
the near future, or a blunder. So far I couldn't find any.

What's the situation with snow and r-cran-snow in Debian, then?

Best regards,
