[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#730515: cd-hit-est is cdhit-est in Debian [Why?]

Package: src:cd-hit,src:python-cogent
Control: found -1 cd-hit/4.6.1-2012-08-27-2
Control: found -1 python-cogent/1.5.3-2
Severity: normal

python-cogent refers to cd-hit-est, which I presume is the standard
upstream naming for cd-hit. However, in Debian, the cd-hit package
installs cd-hit-est as cdhit-est.

I don't know which is correct, but either cd-hit or python-cogent should
be fixed (or both!)

Secondarily, cd-hit really should decide whether it is called cd-hit or
cdhit, as it installs some commands called cd-hit and others called
cdhit:

/usr/bin/cd-hit-div
/usr/bin/cdhit-est
/usr/bin/psi-cd-hit-local
/usr/bin/cd-hit-2d-para
/usr/bin/psi-cd-hit-2d
/usr/bin/psi-cd-hit
/usr/bin/psi-cd-hit-2d-g1
/usr/bin/cdhit-454
/usr/bin/cdhit-2d
/usr/bin/cdhit-est-2d
/usr/bin/cd-hit-para
/usr/bin/cdhit
