thank you


I don't think removing mkdirhier just for these reasons is a good idea
since we would have to check/update multiple packages accordingly.
Fortunately, the manpage of mkdirhier it pretty clear about mkdir -p
being enough/better. So we can expect that very few people will start
using mkdirhier nowadays.

"mkdirhier is a wrapper for mkdir; systems  with 
mkdir(__osmansuffix__)  implementations  conformant with  the  Single 
Unix  Specification  may simply use mkdir -p instead -- this includes
all systems using the GNU Core Utilities' version of mkdir."

".... To avoid these problems, use mkdir -p instead, or do not use
mkdirhier to create directories in parts of the filesystem where
untrusted users can manipulate them."

Feel free to ask upstream to remove mkdirhier anyway :)
