1 That would only explain those on the list that have the same name but a
2 different group (octave for example).
3 It does not explain the others (unless they are also changing name as
4 they move group)
5 Specifically, why does kbd provide another package (console-tools) that
6 already exisits? Why don't they both provide a virtual package that
7 allows you to pick one and on which other packages depend?

9 the man page does say PROVIDE shouldn't be use for anything else!
