I think Daniel's point is that the "ownership" of /usr/bin/falcon is
*not* necessarily given to the first package to enter the archive. I.e.
it's not a race.  *Especially* when the packages enter the archive
within such a short period of time. There hasn't been time to form any
sort of precedent about what one could expect to have invoked when
calling /usr/bin/falcon. If your programming language was called
apache2, the situation would probably be quite different, though :)
