@rlaager, as you know, the upstream source code has the suffix (.py)

In order to do less manipulation since this is not fixing anything broken, I symlinked that way using dh_links.

IMHO, the symlink order doesn't really matter since the result will be the same either way, to have both old name and new name working until release upgrade.

(Note that starting with Yakkety ONLY the new name will be available.)

If users uses [Tab] key to auto-complete the command sequence, the script without .py will come up first.

I don't see how changing the symlink could give special importance or prominence to the new name.
