Presumably, you are referring to the package name here as opposed to the
name of the command?
Maybe this issue could be side-stepped by putting the binary into the
'moreutils' package which already has /usr/bin/isutf8?
I agree that 'utfout' would be a less ambiguous binary name so if
moreutils isn't appropriate, I'll rename binary+package to utfout.
Kind regards,
James.
