Yes, certainly. I'm not sure why somebody did it in the first place.
But we've had this conflict issue also on Ubuntu and CentOS:

  https://mariadb.atlassian.net/browse/MDEV-519
  https://mariadb.atlassian.net/browse/MDEV-3952

both bugs are closed, and now we don't include mytop either in .deb or
in .rpm packages.
