Package: developers-reference
Version: 3.4.20
Severity: minor

Hello,

Section 6.4 should perhaps recommend `command -v` not `which`, because
Debian Policy 4.1.5.0 allows maintainer scripts to assume SUSv4, which
requires support for `command -v`.

Additionally see the discussion in #747320, where Jakub Wilk does point
out that maintainer scripts may assume /usr is mounted, so I'm not sure
about this.
