Package: fd-find
Version: 8.6.0-3
Severity: wishlist
I understand this must be controversial, but I'd love if this package
could ship a /usr/bin/fd binary.
A casual search (`apt-file search bin/fd | grep fd'$'`) seem to
indicate a single package would conflict with this is the fdclone
package.
I don't think it would be fair to have the main binary package
conflict with fdclone, but perhaps there could be a secondary binary
package with a symlink that would?
I understand *I* can just add `alias fd=fd-find` to my shell, but I
happen to manage a *lot* of machines and don't really enjoy deploying
hacks like this all over the place. I also think it's doing a
disservice to our users to needlessly diverge from upstream.
Thank you for your consideration!

thanks
It isn't something we can do in Debian unfortunately
two workaround:
export PATH=/usr/lib/cargo/bin/:$PATH
alias fd=fdfind
