Hi,
I'm packaging brotli for Debian and I wanted to install bro.py in /usr/bin.
I wanted to know what would be the official name for this program and rename it if it conflicts:

According to the above, I'd be happy if you would rename bro.py to brotli or something else that does not conflict, nor violates Debian policy.

Best regards,
Tomasz

I wanted to know what would be the official name for this program and rename it if it conflicts: - /usr/bin/bro.py => in Debian at least, .py scripts are discouraged in $PATH (https://lintian.debian.org/tags/script-with-language-extension.html) - /usr/bin/bro => it looks nice, but this is already occupied by this package: https://packages.debian.org/sid/amd64/bro/filelist - /usr/bin/brotli => seems to be fine According to the above, I'd be happy if you would rename bro.py to brotli or something else that does not conflict, nor violates Debian policy. Best regards, Tomasz
