I think good, because I maintain jhs as Debian package already.
http://ftp-master.debian.org/new/jhc_0.8.0~darcs20120314-1.html
Maintaining Ajhc Debian package is bad idea, if jhc has the most
functions had by Ajhc.

How about below policy between jhc and Ajhc.

1. Jhc and Ajhc share same command name "jhc".
2. Jhc controls major version number. Example, jhc controls X, Y and Z
in version "X.Y.Z".
3. Ajhc controls minor version number. Example, Ajhc controls only Q
in version "X.Y.Z.Q".
4. Ajhc show below message with --version option.

    (A)jhc 0.8.0.1 (80aa12fb9b57622bba2f0e911d7ebc0c04ddb662)
    compiled by ghc-7.4 on a x86_64 running linux

The policy is to keep minimum change between jhc and Ajhc.
And I think that Ajhc having own command name confuses jhc user.
