Which was exactly the point. When a script/Makefile requires a
particular command, and this command has multiple implementation or is
provided by a package which naming stability is dubious, BR/R-ing the
filename and not the package name is the right thing.

If package naming and package repartition was stable or reliable we'd
be requiring perl package names instead of the stuff inside.

When you know the exact R/BR your package needs it's totaly insane to
go through the package name indirection.
