[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hello!

I packaged this to help rename a bunch of patches.

It installs an executable called 'rename' which conflicts with the
(limited) one in util-linux, due to the latter being part of
%base-packages.

Are there preferences to either:

* Install this one as 'perl-rename'; or
* Drop the `rename` executable from util-linux.

If there are no comments I'll go with the conservative #1.
