Because all client packages contain /usr/bin/tldr.

can't i have multiple "clients" for tldr installed at the same time?

Not without workarounds. You could rename the executable for example.

[c33s]

on debian the official package is called tldr-py and the bin is /usr/bin/tldr-py (see filelist) or on older systems there also exists the package tldr but the binary is also called differently /usr/bin/tldr-hs (see filelist)

so it would be nice to not conflict them as the packages can perfectly work in parallel.
