I presume that the old dircolors did something like the aliases above. I think these commands are so general that an autoalias done by dircolors is the proper solution. I think the way mentioned in /usr/doc/fileutils/color-ls.gz is a proper way to deal with this leaving much flexibility to the user. The ls manpage is up to date, the info files are up to date, the on -line help is up to date, in /usr/doc/fileutils a file can be found how to get colorized ls. I might add a message on postinst of fileutils, but only the system maintainer looks there when installing the package. If you folks don't mind I think the issue has been taken care of quite well and right now I don't think a change is required. YMMV of course and if one can come up with a super patch I will implement it. Erick (your fileutils maintainer)
