Hello! I packaged this to help rename a bunch of patches. It installs an executable called 'rename' which conflicts with the (limited) one in util-linux, due to the latter being part of %base-packages. Are there preferences to either: * Install this one as 'perl-rename'; or * Drop the `rename` executable from util-linux. If there are no comments I'll go with the conservative #1.
