- barrkel 4y agoThat's exactly what it does already. The maintainers are objecting to the existence of the links.
- henearkr 4y agoYep. Almost (it uses a wrapper script instead of a symlink), but it ends up being such a silly situation all the same... Thanks for pointing it out though, I was not aware!
- henearkr 4y agoI cannot edit anymore, so I add this: This is the case in a distribution (Arch) that has effectively taken the maintainer's advice into account, not the reverse.
