Bug Description
Binary package hint: picocom
Picocom's default send command is 'ascii_xfr'. (ascii-xfr is provided by the minicom package.)
Its default receive command is 'rz' provided by lrzsz.
It should use consistent commands, and recommend the package which provides those commands.
Since it would be strange for picocom to recommend minicom, and since ascii-xfr's man page says "It should only be used if the remote system doesn't understand anything else." (i.e. it's a last resort), I would think using and recommending lrzsz consistently would be the thing to do.
