Thanks for your report.

I note that since cs is not available in jessie, this bug should be
marked as not affecting jessie... not sure how this is done.

Vincent, is your upstream amenable to changing the name? The csound cs
utility has been named so since at least 2005, so it would probably
break finger memory for users if I change it. I will ask upstream
anyway.
