History tells me that your reasoning here means that things will
remain the way they are so I won't waste my time arguing with you.

But I would like to show another useful thing James page has, it shows
symlinks properly. Look at the difference for a package like gnulinks:

http://www.opencsw.org/search/gnulinks
http://www.canoedissent.org.uk/packages/unstable/i386/5.8/CSWgnulinks/files/

I also want to remind you that bzip2 still lacks the isaexec dependency.
