The CTTE stated that "For the Debian 12 release, we expect which(1) to
be in either an Essential package or a transitively Essential package"
this does not mean that which(1) will be there indefinitely. Contrary to
which, command -v is specified by POSIX and meant to stay. So this patch
is to help for a future transition.
