Package: squeak-vm
Version: 1:4.0.3.2202-2
Severity: important

The squeak-vm package ships with a single executable in PATH,
/usr/bin/squeak. This script is completely different from the upstream
squeak script and breaks existing applications, e.g. the Etoys Sugar
activity:

=== Begin ===
squeak -encoding UTF-8 -vm-display-x11 -xshm -sugarBundleId 
org.vpri.EtoysActivity -sugarActivityId 
79c094fe2dfe03117da48525b3193432bc970507 
/home/sascha.silbe/sugar-jhbuild/install/share/etoys/etoys.image  BUNDLE_PATH 
/home/sascha.silbe/sugar-jhbuild/install/share/sugar/activities/Etoys.activity 
SQUEAKLETS /home/sascha.silbe/.sugar/default/org.vpri.EtoysActivity/instance 
BUNDLE_ID org.vpri.EtoysActivity ACTIVITY_ID 
79c094fe2dfe03117da48525b3193432bc970507
found gettext in path
/home/sascha.silbe/sugar-jhbuild/install/share/sugar/activities/Etoys.activity
Could not open the Squeak image file `-encoding'.
=== End ===

Because this script is the only executable in PATH, there's not even a
way to work around this (hence severity important).

Please install the upstream squeak script to allow applications using the
squeak VM to run. If you prefer to keep the existing script, how about
renaming it to "squeak-user", "squeak-easy", "squeak-simple" or
something like that?
