While spectacle does everything ksnapshot did, it is not compatibile with it: spectacle does not have the same the command line options ksnapshot had, so adding a ksnapshot -> spectacle symlink means there could be options mismatches. Usually we added symlinks in cases where the application was renamed (and thus it was the very same, just with a different name); in this case the spectacle and ksnapshot are not the same, and I don't think it's a good idea. (Also, even if a symlink would be provided, then it should be in the transitional ksnapshot package only, so installing only spectacle does not bring ksnapshot compatibility stuff.) > Transitions shouldn't silently delete commands.
