I agree that the duplicates need to merge into one. I contacted @ogarcia about a month ago with PRQ#16712. He suggested keeping name teams-insiders - which kind of makes sense, because it's the naming MS uses, but I (as some others) like ms-teams much better. So I decided not to argue and let it be, without reply - I knew my package was not originally aimed for the insiders version, I just wanted to create the ground for official release once it came out. And now it did, and I switched my package to it.
It is beyond my understanding why we have 3 packages of the same thing now, and what is the reasoning behind it.
Anyway, I like ms-teams name, but I don't care too much about it, so merging everything into 'teams' is fine with me, if others like it better. I can co-maintain it, but I do not insist on it.

@mluque Yes, it seems that Microsoft is doing the wrong thing and has deleted the packages from the repository. There are several open threads on this topic.
The truth is that since the announcement that Microsoft was going to withdraw the Teams client, one does not know what is going to happen. I hope they restore the files, but in the meantime I have uploaded the binaries here (they are the Arch packages, I don't have the original .deb packages but if someone passes them to me I can include them).
