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....
