Bomber deb clashes with existing package

[ashemedai]

After installing the bomber deb, an apt update stated it had updates. Looking at the output of apt upgrade had me raising my eyebrows. Turns out that bomber is already an existing package in the Debian package repository.

Unsure what the right way forward is. Rename? While I get the punny name in regard to SBOM, I can very much see it becoming a bit of an issue in the context of a random conversation at work or elsewhere. Package suffix/prefix?

Obligatory apt output from Debian 12:

The following packages will be upgraded:
  bomber

[djschleen]

For now you could something like this:

dj@mastodon ~/Downloads $ sudo apt-mark hold bomber
bomber set on hold.

But - it annoyingly shows bomber as permanently kept back

I'll play with the build and for linux - we may put a suffix on the binary or rename it completely.

[djschleen]

Workaround - install the deb file and rename bomber tobb. Changing the name would break too many user's workflows.
