Package: coreutils
Version: 5.97-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

Coreutils' kill command is only installed on GNU/Hurd.  However, it gets
installed as /usr/bin/kill, whereas procps installs kill into /bin.  I
think it would be good to harmonize this and move kill over to /bin on
the Hurd as well, e.g. the XFCE4 postinsts call '/bin/kill' explicitely
(as I understand it, because kill can also be a shell builtin) and thus
XFCE4 fails to install on Debian GNU/Hurd currently.

Not sure whether you prefer to shuffle around the binrary in
debian/rules' install rule or prefer to patch the upstream Makefiles, I
could send a patch for either if you want.


cheers,

Michael
