Sergey already told you how to properly rename the binary at build time. It is common that distributions make one imap server conflict with the rest. In Debian: Package: courier-imap Provides: imap-server Conflicts: imap-server Package: cyrus-imapd Provides: imap-server Conflicts: imap-server Package: mailutils-imap4d Provides: imap-server Conflicts: imap-server And yes, splitting the package sounds very reasonable to me.
