That's an interesting hint.  In Debian Med we are using a common
directories

    /usr/lib/debian-med/bin/
    /usr/lib/debian-med/man/

where those binaries will be moved to and have some kind of a
README.Debian template[1].  Changing this to have the real executable /
manpage to /usr/lib/debian-med/* makes sense.
 
We simply advise Debian Med users to set PATH to that dir and have
all the name-clashed binaries inside Debian Med without additional
interaction.

Kind regards
    Andreas.
