Yes, this one (with the patch to rename the binary in your package).

Being not a ham radio user, I find a bit dubious the above quote ("many
MANY" and "customized scripts"). Out of 100 users, how much is "many
MANY"? If it is 1 out of 100, well, that's not that much. They can still
put a symlink (out of /usr/local/bin for example). The difference with
node.js is that all users would have to put this link.
