Unfortunately this project would conflict with the already present
package moarvm, which also provides /usr/bin/moar.
I'm afraid this new package would need its program to be renamed to be
accepted into Debian (I guess ideally both the project and program name),
which can be a tall ask for a project that has existed for a while. :/
(Alternatively you could try to convince the upstream moarvm project
to rename their binary and shared library to moarvm, but unless that
happens, the moar program name should not be used by any other package
with a different functionality/interface.)
Thanks,
