Package: dpkg
Version: 1.20.6
Severity: wishlist

TIL (via apt-listchanges) that dpkg-realpath(1) exists.
I went on to reading its manual page.
It documents the options, sure, but… some words about
why it exists, when one would choose it over realpath(1)
or readlink(1) -f and when not, etc. would be nice. As
things currently are I don’t get the point.
