Hi,

Though creating an entire package for a single symlink does seem rather wasteful, there is one difference to `opendoas-sudo` -- `rofi` will behave differently if `argv[0] == "dmenu"`; furthermore, the value of this package isn't the symlink itself, it's the fact that this `provides=("dmenu")`, and therefore will appease packages that depend on `dmenu` when `rofi` is installed (which would, also, potentially override any symlink the user has made in their `$HOME`).

I don't see the point of deleting a package that has seen some use in the community, but perhaps there's a bigger picture that I don't really see here.

Thanks,
Alex

Same reason as opendoas-

we don't need a whole package for a symlink.
