I'm trying to determine if the 'lockfile' program is still available
or has been obsoleted for some reason.

I'm not looking for lockfile_create or friends, nor flock, but the
program described here:

Thanks,

 Squeeze & testing have a lockfile-progs

ie apt-cache search lockfile\*

Description-en: Programs for locking and unlocking files and mailboxes
 This package includes several programs to safely lock and unlock
 files and mailboxes from the command line.  These include:
 .
   lockfile-create
   lockfile-remove
   lockfile-touchlock
   mail-lock
   mail-unlock
   mail-touchlock
 .
 These programs use liblockfile to perform the file locking and
 unlocking, so they are guaranteed compatible with Debian's
 file locking policies.
