As an end user I wish to register an objection to any solution to this bug that 
makes it impossible for me to install a Debian system where, out of the box, 
"rename" in the default PATH is the Perl rename.  This is what my fingers 
expect, and what dozens of non-packaged scripts rely on.

(I say "the default PATH" and "out of the box" because I _can_ always put a 
symlink in $HOME/.local/bin or /usr/local/bin, regardless of what packages do, 
but that's an extra step that may not be tracked by configuration management 
and may not apply to all processes.)

I recognize that there are people coming to Debian from environments where 
there is precisely the opposite expectation, but I think backward compatibility 
with the environment Debian has provided for many years is, in this case, more 
important.
