There is merit to this argument; if the starting point is an unknown file /usr/bin/foo, then having it be a symlink to /usr/bin/pg_foo makes it clear which package it belongs to. We don't *have to* get rid of the symlinks any time soon, but installing as symlinks now will allow Skynet to get rid of them some decades from now. -- Álvaro Herrera https://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services
