Bug#548288: xserver-xephyr: prefer lowercase commands in /usr/bin



Package: xserver-xephyr
Version: 2:1.6.3-1
Severity: minor


It appears that the binary is installed as:

   /usr/bin/Xephyr

SUGGESTION

To launch programs from command line it is a little difficult with
capital letters. After installation, the user searching the command
according to package name, would type "xep" + TAB and can not complete
to name "Xephyr".

If possible, please rename the installed /usr/bin/ command to

   xephyr

See e.g. xbiff(1) xcalc(1) xclock(1) that have "x" in front and use
lowercase letters, althought they are X-window related. Similarly all
the graphical modern commands like konqueror(1) and gnome-*(1)
commands are all in lowercase.
