Could you clarify?  Since there is no NEWS or ANNOUNCEMENTS or any
kind of file like that in the upstream sources ( nor any mention of it
in the debian changelog ) which makes note of this high impact change,
it is unclear what was intended and what needs done to deal with it.
After spending an hour looking through the upstream git repository, I
finally found a commit that indicated the names were swapped with the
old symlink, and that a symlink from what was the previous binary name
had replaced it.  These symlinks are missing from the debian package,
which seems to be a packaging error.

If you intend to drop what used to be the main name, then you really
need to announce that prominently and leave symlinks for the old name
in place for some time.
