I can't care less about there being /bin/arch or not. The point
is that I ran into a script that uses "arch" instead of "uname

when the output of "uname -m" and "arch" didn't match).
I'd expect it's more prosaic than that (like arch was the first thing
tried). uname -m is a POSIX requirement; arch is not.
Since you don't seem to wish to upload this to lenny as a
proposed-update and fixing it for squeeze doesn't seem to make
much sense to me
Agreed that targeting the next release seems silly. If I'd known about
the issue before lenny froze I would have included it in coreutils. At
this point, unless there's a groundswell of support for the arch
command, I think it's just too late.
