Bug#451600: libpar-packer-perl: /usr/bin/par.pl vs. policy 10.4

Package: libpar-packer-perl
Version: 0.976-5
Severity: normal

As discussed on debian-perl, the name of /usr/bin/par.pl doesn't
comply with policy 10.4, which says that the .pl suffix should be removed.

Since /usr/bin/par is already taken by the par package, we need something
else. Russ Allberry suggested par-archive, which sounds good to me. Unless
there are objections, I'm going to go forward with that and rename the
script.
