I suppose we'll have /usr/bin/if and /usr/bin/exec next. This really is quite staggering, even by the standards I've come to expect in debmake &c. If I say any more about this I'm going to become extremely rude, so I'll stop now. Generally, debmake has quite the worst case of namespace pollution I've seen since mh (and at least mh requires you to put a special directory on your path). The binaries uscan uupdate debi debc release todo done build debpkg dch debstdo should all be renamed. debstd ought to have been called something different, but that's probably too late to fix now.
