Can you clarify why you thought having this name-conflict with traceroute in the SDK repos is a problem? Neither dpkg nor apt-get have any problems with same-name packages being available in different repositories.
Anyway, gave it a quick test (don't use it regularly, as I already have nmap installed and nmap's companion nping has a more verbose traceroute functionality installed), looked over the inst/rm scripts, etc. Didn't spot any problems I'd consider worthy of blocking it over (though I can't test the IPv6 traceroute presently), so I upvoted it.
Sidenote: It /might/ be a good idea to have it do a dpkg diversion of the likely to conflict filepaths, such as /usr/bin/traceroute and /usr/bin/traceroute6. As is it clobbered my busybox-power symlinks at those paths when it uninstalled (I think it's better to have such diverts set up, esp. for busybox-power, because they can coexist just fine, they just both want to use the same path names).
