Description

I've mentioned this before, not sure where. Anyway, the wall program (and its man page) from the Sysvinit package is overwritten by the Util-Linux-NG package.

This should, at a minimum, be described with perhaps a method to choose which one the reader wishes to use.

I've not investigated what it would take to suppress the wall binary being installed by either package, but as mentioned, we should let the readers know this is going on.
