Bug Description

Binary package hint: atool

`atool --help` refers to `arepack` as a shortcut for `atool -r` (in the same way as the als, acat, adiff etc. ones)

 -r, --repack repack archives to a different format (arepack)

However, although atool's packaging in ubuntu correctly lays down the other symbolic links in /usr/bin but has forgotten arepack

acat -> atool*
adiff -> atool*
als -> atool*
apack -> atool*
atool
aunpack -> atool*

a simple `cd /usr/bin && sudo ln -s atool arepack ; cd -` works and allows `arepack` to be called as the shorthand for `atool -r`

Hi Dominic,

I have uploaded a fixed package to Debian unstable. It will be merged into the next version of Ubuntu (karmic).

Thanks for taking the time to report this, I hadn't noticed that arepack was missing!

Cheers,
Francois
