NOT a bug but a misunderstanding.

The original report is in error concerning the name of the executable.

The name of the executable is "AtomicParsley" not "atomicparsley".

Perhaps the package installation script could create a convenience
symbolic link from the mixed case executable file to an all lower case
format could be provided to avoid unecessary trauma for those who expect
the executable to be all lower case?  However it should be noted that
other software which uses AtomicParsley eg "get_iplayer" correctly uses
the mixed case named binary.
