Well, it's hardly a thing someone needs to do often.

Moreover, why add this function to debianutils when debianutils
already has 'which' ?

Actually, for my pathcheck function, I think I am going to switch my
recommendation for maintainer scripts to use the which function.  Sure
it's in /usr/ but who cares.  For init scripts, that would be another
story....
