Excellent.

Please advise when/how you choose to resolve this stuff.  But please be
aware that it shouldn't be _too_ difficult for cfs to change its utility name,
something I would consider if cpasswd is a fairly integral part of the coda
system such that we wouldn't want debian to differ from other linux's on
how it is implemented...
