Hi! I've been using transmission for may yeas. I was really missing something like transgui, but I did not know
that it exists in debian repo because I was expecting that it will have hame starting with
transmission-*

Now I found transgui and happy. But nevertheless: I would offer to create alias package that would really
install transgui, something like transmission-remote-gui or transmission-remote-transgui or any other, the
main idea, it's name should start with transmission-*, so user can see all stadalone transmisson clients in
one search request.

So this is my suggestuion...

I would suggest that the "right" way to handle this is to use
update-alternatives, and have /usr/bin/transmission-remote-gui have at
least three alternatives:

- /usr/bin/transgui
- /usr/bin/transmission-remote-gtk
- /usr/bin/tremotesf

and for all these to "Provide: transmission-remote-gui".

This would need to be done in all three of the corresponding packages.
