I doubt average users really have two different programs installed in
case one breaks. And if something breaks, you can easily install
another terminal. But you cannot just install another email client,
you need to configure it and if you are not using IMAP, you won't
have your mail available. So this is much more critical - but I doubt
that anybody has installed two mail clients for that unlikely case.
Sure. I agree the case moves further away from reality in apps that are
complex and need setup. But for example web browsers, people may need
several installed to test how a site they are desiging looks in webkit,
etc.

In that case we should rename the package and the binary, too.
Absolutely.
