Package: firebird3.0-utils
Version: 3.0.5.33100.ds4-2
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

naming of utils originally named isql and gstat is unpredictable and 
inconsistent - isql-fb and fbstat. 
It's very hard to find out what command should be used to invoke gstat. Please 
could you consider creating
symlinks with consistent names (gstat-fb perhaps?). This option is better than 
fbstat because console
substitution could suggest the proper name if a user types "gstat" and presses 
Tab.
Btw, usage info of these utils prints original names thus additionally messing 
things up.
