Hi dakataca,
I also left (part of) this message on the package, just in case you aren't on the mailing list or something.
Why exactly was this request created? I don't see a case where these should be merged to be honest.
The spflahtool5 [3] package was created way after spflashtol5-bin [2] and I'm unable to see why. The more logical thing seems to be a deletion of spflashtool5 [3] as a duplicate.
If you're providing a variant with different options, they shouldn't be merged either; in that case, update it to clearly reflect what the differences are.
If you have any suggestions or improvements for spflashtool5-bin [2], feel free to leave a comment there or send me a message.
Kind regards,
Omar
