Package: handbrake-cli
Version: 0.9.9+svn6422+dfsg1-2
Severity: minor

CamelCase executable names such as '/usr/bin/HandBrakeCLI' are unusual
on Debian systems.  Related executables (from related packages) are
already called 'handbrake' and 'handbrake-gtk'.

I propose a symlink is created, linking /usr/bin/handbrake-cli to
/usr/bin/HandBrakeCLI.

Benefits:
  * does not disturb upstream
  * brings naming convention in-line with most other packages
    (example: ___aptitude search '\-cli$'___)
  * makes executable easier to find (type 'handbrake' TAB TAB at shell
    prompt, expect to find alternatives)

Agreed, and until then I'm closing this as wontfix.
