Maybe this package should be named linux-yp-tools. But the other yp* packages are said to work on different platforms. So test under other operating systems? has conflicts with net-tools: bin/domainname bin/nisdomainname bin/ypdomainname With net-tools this is the same as hostname(1) via symlink. And hostname is already provided with coreutils. So maybe make net-tools not install hostname, etc.
