i would like to vote to re-open this bug (or to start a new one), on the
basis of UI/UX.  Many Linux newbies do not know that
/usr/share/doc/moc/README even exists.  Yes, they will discover it
later, but that page is "remote" to the experience (on the command-line
itself).  Even if you goes to that page, the heads-up is easy to miss
because the warning about the alternative executable name is not
prominently displayed at the top, but instead is buried a page down.

I'd like to suggest/request that for the easiest/friendliest end-user
experience (especially newbies to Linux):

1) the moc executable be re-instated as "moc", not "mocp", so that it
matches the package-name (which is most often standard for Debian
package naming)

OR (less desireable):

2) the package be renamed to "mocp" to match the executable name

OR (at least...)

3) that the error message be changed or amended so that it redirects the
user to 'mocp' instead of giving a useless / unfriendly error message.

Thank you.
