Not in the archive, but if falcon is going to be named /usr/bin/falcon
*everywhere* else in the world, then all scripts that are meant to be
interpreted by falcon will have "#!/usr/bin/falcon" in their header, so
for no sensible reason *at* *all* you will have to change every single
falcon script before it can run on Ubuntu, which is completely
pointless.
