Thanks for the suggestion. However as a packager, I found myself not in
the position of renaming the binary file at all. It's upstream's
decision to decide which binary name to use. Besides, it is obvious
that upstream does not want the user to call the binary file from
terminal (using .desktop entry instead is easier).

I plan to provide /usr/bin/easyssh via update-alternatives tool. This
is better than making a plain symlink. It is almost sure that someone
will try to provide /usr/bin/easyssh in another project sooner or later
since this is a good name.

Thanks,
Boyuan Yang
