We're looking at packaging a program which happens to include a binary named /usr/bin/init. This doesn't actually conflict with anything else on the system (possibly because no one else has been so bold). Is there any existing guidance for situations like this?

I'm inclined to say that it's okay (since I can't find anything that says otherwise) but that we should file an upstream bug asking for a more generic name in the next release. What do you think?
