Just to clarify: I had understood your suggestion, and my answer to it
is "I don't think it is practical for users". Think of it as replacing
cat, echo, grep and others with "unixutils cat", "unixutils echo",
"unixutils grep"... the similarity breaks when we look at the userbase,
but for those who do use gbutils... I think you get my point.

Fixed, thanks. I don't know what had made me so sure that the link was
right and I had to just wait the 6 hours time to see it work.
I now also pushed the upstream and pristine-tar branches, as well as
the tags.
Related to your other email, I updated build-depends and depends so
that now all utilities/functionalities are compiled and installed, and
introduced a patch fixing a few typos in the previously not installed
utilities.
Updated package:

-1.dsc
Thanks again!
