> While I can understand having this attitude, a whole lot of package build scripts, not just in Debian, but in the upstreams, rely upon which existing and printing out the path of an executable without a deprecation warning. Probably not. The programs should (and likely actually do) parse only stdout. The warning is on stderr. I find the whole thing pointless, I disagree with Adams that only incompetent people would depend on which, and I expect actually removing /usr/bin/which to be problematic, but I don't expect the warning itself to break much of anything, except maybe blood pressure cuffs... |

As of today all my (scripts') use of which is going to include '2>&1' or the contextually appropriate equivalent. Fuck Clint Adams.
