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



Thanks for drafting this, Matthew!

I have a small suggestion here:

Matthew Vernon dijo [Thu, Apr 14, 2022 at 04:47:17PM +0100]:

I'd prefer to read "that neither 'rename' implementation is superior
to the other", maybe even explaining that "they were designed out of
different needs and meet different criteria".

Thanks again!
