I'm not so sure about diverging from upstream in our first introduction of these tools in debian. If we do this, we're effectively committing to this divergence forever (someone's going to write scripts that use /usr/bin/gpg-wks-* and then get upset when we change it). and it means that anyone who writes docs will have to have a different "how to do this on debian" section from "how to do this on fedora" or whatever. would you object to using your packaging but shipping in the upstream-approved location? or is it worth convincing upstream to ship these tools in /usr/bin instead? --dkg
