Hi,

There's a serious bug when I am uploading afdko package, that one of the
binaries in this package "tx" has name conflicting with
transifex-client.

  https://bugs.debian.org/965151

I am currently considering doing it by moving all binaries of afdko from
/usr/bin to /usr/bin/afdko, and then creating another package
afdko-legacy, that, similar to node-legacy before node changed the name
to ax25-node, symlinks all binaries from /usr/bin/afdko back to
/usr/bin.  This will decrease the mess of one package having multiple
binaries, and ensure the compatibility of font building scripts that
invokes afdko tx.  Does it require CTTE agreement since afdko-legacy is
also in conflict with tx?

Another python module package that's in my ITP also invokes afdko's tx:

  https://bugs.debian.org/962383

How other packages that depends on nodejs did when its name was nodejs?
And how did they use nodejs on package building and/or run-time?

Ref on nodejs vs node CTTE:
