The only other option I can think of is shipping a wrapper in
debian/bin/install
and setting PATH=$(top_dir)/debian/bin:$PATH
Is that better than patching the Makefile? In ifstat I just patched
the -s away. Only one occurance and only a Makefile.in. Seemed
simpler. But with more complex sources a wrapper might be way less
code.
