Although I _think_, setlock from both packages is used for the same purpose
and is probably based on the same sources (haven't checked that), I would
like for every package to keep the programs that come with it. At least the
man pages differ in what they say about the arguments.

I would agree if the program were _exactly_ the same thing in both packages.
This seems not to be the case now and might not be in the future when
both packages evolve further.

I  suppose there have been clashes of program names in the past and
it would be nice to hear how people have dealt with them.
