I presume that the old dircolors did something like the aliases above.
I think these commands are so general that an autoalias done by dircolors is
the proper solution.  I think the way mentioned in
/usr/doc/fileutils/color-ls.gz is a proper way to deal with this leaving
much flexibility to the user.

The ls manpage is up to date, the info files are up to date, the on -line
help is up to date, in /usr/doc/fileutils a file can be found how to get
colorized ls.  I might add a message on postinst of fileutils, but only the
system maintainer looks there when installing the package.  If you folks
don't mind I think the issue has been taken care of quite well and right
now I don't think a change is required. YMMV of course and if one can come
up with a super patch I will implement it.
