Hi Sebastian-

Correct, as of 2.7, /usr/bin/screen is no longer a diversion from the real screen binary to byobu. I will communicate this through my blog later tonight. From now on, if you want "byobu", you will need to launch run "byobu". If you want old-school "screen", you will need to run "screen".

Sorry about the inconvenience. Too many traditional "screen" users have been offended by some of the things that byobu does, and does not do. For this reason, we're going to need to separate the invocation.

Cheers,
