[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#849161: snap: /usr/bin/snap provided by both snap and snapd

Package: snap
Version: 2013-11-29-4
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 10.1

Both snap (general purpose gene finding program) and snapd (part of
the app packaging system developed by Canonical) ship the binary
/usr/bin/snap

This is a violation of Debian Policy 10.1
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-files.html

This was handled in Ubuntu by renaming snap's /usr/bin/snap to
/usr/bin/snap-dna and allowing snapd to keep the /usr/bin/snap binary.

Thanks,
Jeremy Bicha
