I'd like to avoid Conflicts as well, and honestly I think it'd be better to keep
the text/curses binary called ettercap, and rename the gtk version, since 9/10
users will be calling it from the .desktop anyway.  If the GIMP maintainers
renamed the main binary to fluffybunnyfeet, very few would notice.

I'm also somewhat loathe to depart from upstream unless really necessary.  While
I like the Busybox-esqe patch to handing the inferface flag issue, would this
not confuse existing ettercap users?  The patch appears only to add the new
functionality, and not break the existing arg handling.  IF this is correct,
then I see no issue.

Are we looking at a consensus around a 3-package plan, with symlinks, the above
patch, and Provides instead of Obsoletes?  If so, I'll get on it.
