I also don't like this way because it is confusing after an upgrade but
it might be a reasonable workaround.

I don't want to blame _anyone_ for this. I just want to discuss that
issue to make debian better in the future.
How do you think people get the information from snmpd if they don't
use the other utilities like snmpget and snmpwalk? We have many
internal applications running who use these utilities extensively and
they have been modified now but I don't want to do that again :-)
