But I do not understand. It seems to me that an alias

I learned that a NMU is when the package has a maintainer
but the maintainer does not take care the package, the
maintainer does not shows some activity for some time.
An alias is something the user would need to manually set up. Some users
might not know aliases exist, others might not want to set up an alias.
Why make the life of a user more inconvenient, when you as a maintainer
can fix that on your side?
Alias is really simple. And fix the issue.
It is one more thing the user has to do. You could do something to
free the user from this one extra action.
Change the way package is because one does
not want to press tab and upload a NMU is
awfull.
Could you please explain why are you so against changing the package
to make it a bit easier to use?
Why be so frustated to press tab or edit a file to
put one line, one time only.
