You need to stop hitting the hooch and start thinking more about what Debian is trying to accomplish. Over six hundred packages already use it, it prevents the hard-coding of paths into maintainer scripts and thus renders them more robust against harmless changes in other packages (e.g., moving traceroute from /usr/sbin to /usr/bin) and is otherwise useful. I am far from the only package maintainer who employs this tool. -- G. Branden Robinson | "I came, I saw, she conquered."
