Debian packaging: Incompatibility between influxdb2 and influxdb2-client packages

[ilario]

I am not sure this is the right place where to report this, please advise.

The influxdb2 package recommends the influxdb2-cli package.
The influxdb2-cli package has exactly the same content as the influxdb2-client package, but they appear as two independent packages.
So, when installing influxdb2 and influxdb2-client packages, an error like this is observed:

# apt install influxdb2 influxdb2-client

The following additional packages will be installed:

I suppose that a possible solution would be to indicate that the influxdb2-client package "provides" the influxdb2-cli package.
