Source: git-delta
Version: 0.16.5-2
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

The package git-extras provides /usr/bin/git-delta and an associated man page.
This is completely unrelated to /usr/bin/delta provided by git-delta, other
than that they both work with git. I assume that most people would be looking
for this git-delta, not the other one, which is a very minimal script.

There's no technical issue since the binaries are named differently, but the
fact that /usr/bin/git-delta and `man git-delta` are not related to git-delta
makes things slightly confusing as a user.

Perhaps it's worth a note in README.Debian or the package description? Feel
free to close this if you disagree; just thought it was worth pointing out.
