"sysvbanner" installs as "banner" which causes confusion.

Binary package hint: sysvbanner

Essentially, the title says it all. After installing the package "sysvbanner" the resulting program is called "banner." There is no description of this and at least one user had difficulty using the program he installed because he was trying to use sysvbanner, which of course was not installed! A simple renamaing of the package would be a simple fix. At least some warning to prevent lost minutes trying man, -h and info commands for a program that is not installed.

hint for the future: dpkg -L sysvbanner

but I will keep this bug open, and possibly address it in the future.
