Package: xutils
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/X11R6/bin/lndir

This file is useful outside of X installations. I thus wonder if we
can move the tool to coreutils (as a sibling to /bin/ln), or, if
it's not considered a coreutil, then maybe to debianutils (as
a sibling to /usr/bin/readlink).

Thanks for your consideration.

-rs does indeed do what lndir used to do. This must have been added
since. I suppose we can close the bug report then.
