Comment 4 for bug 1210379

Given that the powerd package in Debian is freebsd-specific and will therefore never be in Ubuntu, and the Ubuntu powerd will never be ported to BSD, I don't think the name conflict is significant. It's certainly allowed to have a single binary package name provided by different source packages on different architectures.

If someone had a good replacement name for this and upstream were inclined to accept the rename, then that's fine; but the obvious choice ('upower') is taken by another package already (calling it 'upowerd' rather than 'upower' would be no less confusing), and I don't see the value in forcing an arbitrary rename here.
