I've been talking with the Debian maintainer of GNU Interactive Tools
about this.  He says he's agreed with his upstream maintainer to change
the name of their git.  I dont know if he means they'll change their
name in the upstream package or just in the Debian package.  I offered
to do the work for them and do an NMU, but then I havent heard from them
for about 2 weeks, so I'm not sure what their status is.

"Ha ha, we sure bullied them into doing it our way."
