Dear Maintainer,

your package hostname installs files into /bin.
For the ongoing UsrMerge effort [1], /bin should become "empty", IOW
packages should not install files there, but instead into /usr/bin.

I think hostname could move these files now. I am guessing that hostname
would not see backports; if it did, please note that such changes must be
reverted for bookworm (or earlier).

Attached you will find a patch implementing this. Please apply it at
your earliest convenience.

Thanks,
Chris

Unfortunately the latest maintainer upload did not include the changes from 3.23+nmu2. Thus reopening the bug report and bumping it to RC to prevent testing migration.
