What I have is bug reports against the cogito package, from people who want to install both. The reports came very soon after I released the package, so I dont think it's a totally freak occurance.

Some Debian maintainers defend GNU Interactive Tools, but I'm guessing that will only lower your opinion of Debian maintainers:

Anyway, enough of this. I understand the name will not change and I'm ok with that. I'll deal with it on our (Debian's) end.
