[Impact]

When trying to install python-tempest-lib and python3-tempest-lib in Vivid, I
got the following error

Unpacking python3-tempest-lib (0.4.0-0ubuntu1) ...
dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/python3-tempest-lib_0.4.0-0ubuntu1_all.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/skip-tracker', which is also in package python-tempest-lib 0.4.0-0ubuntu1

I would expect to be able to install both packages and be able to run python
scripts using version 2 or 3 of the interpreter.

The patch renames /usr/bin/skip-tracker generated with '#!/usr/bin/python3.4'
shebang to /usr/bin/python3-skip-tracker

[Test Case]

To reproduce just run:

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install python-tempest-lib python3-tempest-lib

Expected result: both packages get installed

Actual result:
Unpacking python3-tempest-lib (0.4.0-0ubuntu1) ...
dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/python3-tempest-lib_0.4.0-0ubuntu1_all.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/skip-tracker', which is also in package python-tempest-lib 0.4.0-0ubuntu1


[Regression Potential] 

Users that only installed python3-tempest-lib and are using
/usr/bin/skip-tracker expecting it's run with python3 will have to use
/usr/bin/python3-skip-tracker instead. This is already the case for
/usr/bin/subunit-trace

[Other Info]

None.
