No, I mean that packagers can but should not use

        Build-Depends: gcc-snapshot

        CC = gcc-snapshot

"Don't do that, then." you might say.  But not providing a
/usr/bin/gcc-snapshot wrapper provides people with a reminder to look
at README.Debian and not to do that.

There may be ways to make using gcc-snapshot more convenient without
that problem, of course (and well justified patches are as always
welcome).

Hope that helps,
Jonathan
