Actually, my message http://bugs.debian.org/190753#128 proposed exactly
the opposite of what you say. Specifically, if the name of the program,
including the extension, is an interface, then retain it. Note that
"interface" is fairly broad and could include being used in lots of
documentation, I suppose. I also suggested shipping a symlink for the
benefit of users who don't want to remember implementation details.
