Telling stories, this was a deliberate change by an earlier maintainer
of aoetools. I wanted to revert that anyway, but the tne moratorium

[1] Dangling footnote error :-)

Sure thing, and just another bit: I noticed qualified program names in
the init script that could see an adjustment as well. So in case you're
scanning the entire archive for adjustments like here, you might want to
point at such places as well. Adside from that, I'll remove these full
paths, in the spirit of policy 6.1.
