We normally use the namespace as soon as there is a collision; and then I
think it is okay to treat the complete file at once. If you want to be
overcorrect, you could first make the namespace change in one commit and
then add your package in a second one.

And Debian, but we are free to use our own conventions. Do you think it
is likely that we will package the other slurm? Otherwise, I would simply
go with "slurm" now according to our package guidelines; and then we can
still name the other slurm as slurm-nlm or similar.
