I can think of no strong reason for requiring gunzip and zcat to be symbolic or hard links. I consider tracking upstream gzip more compelling than forcing a Debian-specific patch merely to comply with this element of policy. Is there some un-stated real-world problem you're trying to solve here that I do not understand? Bdale -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
