Bug Description

Binary package hint: lockfile-progs

This package installs its programs as 6 separate binaries, even though there is only one actual program which has different behaviour depending on how it's named.

Can this be changed to one installed binary with 5 symlinks instead?

Confirmed. This is a packaging issue because the makefile only creates 2 binaries and 4 symlinks.

Thanks for your time
