Ouch! Fixed.

Fixed too, thanks for noticing.

This I think is unavoidable. Typically, running analyzes with such
utilities involves calling several of them in a same bash command...
the fact that each can be called with a short and intuitive sequence of
digits is crucial. Something like "gb rand" rather than "gbrand"
_could_ in principle work, but I don't think I would prefer it, both
for ease of use and because installing a two-chars executable would
actually, to my eyes, create more pollution (increase the probability
of clashes).
That said, the fixed package is still at
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/g/gbutils/gbutils_5.6.6
-1.dsc
I also uploaded the packaging repo to Alioth, something previously I
had forgot to do:
git://anonscm.debian.org/collab-maint/gbutils.git
Cheers,
Pietro
