Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: aptitude
LENGTHY SUMMARY:
I upgraded to Gutsy last night, and one of the first changes I noticed
was that my usual habit of typing "apti" and then TAB-completing to
aptitude - and then being able to type update or upgrade or install or
whatever - has been disrupted. There are now two new binaries that begin
with the word "aptitude-" (aptitude-create-state-bundle and aptitude-
run-state-bundle), so now I need to add an additional space-bar-
keystroke to get on with the show. I don't consider myself to be that
much of a poweruser, I think there are many like me out there who use
aptitude in much the same way, and who will now be mildly annoyed by
this extra keystroke. If these two binaries can be renamed to something
else without braking the internals of aptitude or its siblings, then
that would be great. The two binaries are apparantly used for bug-
reporting.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
(Trying to install package foo)
Open a terminal, type "apti", then hit TAB, and then type "in", then hit TAB
again, then package name (foo). You end up with "aptitudeinfoo".
