Title:
  charmap command missing after upgrade to 20.04 (Focal Fossa)

Status in gucharmap package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After upgrading to the Ubuntu 20.04 LTS beta (gucharmap version
  1:13.0.1-1), I found that the charmap command was missing. After some
  searching I discovered it still exists with the name gucharmap. Maybe
  it was always called gucharmap and there used to be a symlink from
  charmap which the upgrade removed?

  The charmap(1) manpage still exists, as a symlink to gucharmap. It's
  weird having a manpage for a command that doesn't exist.

  Please could we have a charmap symlink (back)? At least some users are
  used to using that name.

  The changelog mentions previously fixing the charmap symlink in version 
0.6.0-1:
  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=187522

  and installing the charmap.1 link in version 1:2.24.2-1.

  I couldn't see anything in there suggesting that the removal of the
  charmap symlink was intentional. Thanks.
