Public bug reported:

After upgrading to the Ubuntu 20.04 LTS beta (gucharmap version
1:13.0.1-1), I found that the charmap command was missing. After some
searching I discovered it still exists with the name gucharmap. Maybe it
was always called gucharmap and there used to be a symlink from charmap
which the upgrade removed?

The charmap(1) manpage still exists, as a symlink to gucharmap. It's
weird having a manpage for a command that doesn't exist.

Please could we have a charmap symlink (back)? At least some users are
used to using that name.

The changelog mentions previously fixing the charmap symlink in version 0.6.0-1:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=187522

and installing the charmap.1 link in version 1:2.24.2-1.

I couldn't see anything in there suggesting that the removal of the
charmap symlink was intentional. Thanks.
