Excellent work, thanks a lot for that. It seems that we have to deal
with much fewer packages that need to get updated than I expected.

I think I'll add the compatibility symlinks at this time so that the
package for squeeze-backports won't break the packages above.
Nevertheless, I'll file bugs against the four 'offenders' to get them
updated to the new tool names.

Cheers,
Reinhard
