There is an xferstats in /usr/sbin from wu-ftpd. The xferlog clash
is with the man page. It was probably not noticed before because nobody
tried to install it in /usr.

However, the names are clobbered on even on /usr/local. Which
xferstats is called depends on whether you have /usr/local/sbin
first in your path or /usr/sbin. The same goes for xferlog man page.
