So, I have the next situation. Upstream of the 'fbreader' package decided to use 'FBReader' instead of 'fbreader': '/usr/bin/FBReader', '/usr/share/FBReader' etc. Then I have bug #434689 - user suggests to provide lowercase-only binary name, to make it easy write 'fbreader' to run the executable. I made a symbolic link from /usr/bin/fbreader to /usr/bin/FBReader. It solves the problem, but initiates a lintian notice about missing man page. What would you suggest? Ignore warning? Or patch upstream? - -- Eugene V.
