Bug#1003653: Revision of removal of rename.ul from package util-linux

[James Cloos]

from a user pov, i'd hate not to have the perl renae at /usr/bin/rename.

i've been using it since the early '90s and its re support is essetial.

i very uch doubt i'm alone in that.

Bug#994275: Reverting breaking changes in debianutils

just saw this..

i got hit by the removal of tepfile(1); pv-grub-menu uses it in its
postint script and its removal started blocking my apt upgrades.  i had
to copy tempfile over from a virt stuck on an older deb to get around it.

(cf https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=996101)

it would be useful to ensure no packages rely on something before
removing it...
