Crap.  I just noticed it is just a wrapper.  Why the heck is it not a
symlink, which we would notice at first glance?  That excessive hand-holding
script you guys have is actually WORSE a solution, chances are someone isn't
going to notice it until it is too late, NEWS.Debian or not.  It is too easy
to forget about it after a while, when there is still an executable with the
right name in /sbin.

If I have some time, I will prepare the patch.  But please don't wait on me
for it, if someone else has the time to prepare the patch, please do so.
