Bug#808314: developers-reference: maintainer scripts: /usr is always there
Source: developers-reference
Severity: normal
Section 6.4 "Nest practices for maintainer script" has a pathfind()
function which it suggests copy & pasting into maintainer scripts. It
suggests "which" as an alternative that requires /usr.
I think "best practices" and "copy and paste this function" are
contradictionary. Given that /usr is *always* available when
maintainer scripts are run, using `which` should be just fine.
