 I just su renamed those temporarily in /usr/bin/, see earlier comments in
 the ticket) It would not be nice to only discover a bug once the tarball
 was released and a non-dev tried it.

 We are on the beginning of release circle for 6.4.2, I would vote for
 backporting this staff to releasebranch_6_4. It's a good time for that at
 this point.
