Hi there,

It appears that in Debian, python-coverage provides the wrapper in
/usr/bin/python-coverage. I tried to push the current maintainer to
provide /usr/bin/coverage, but he doesn't agree. He believes that
"coverage" is just too generic to be squatted by the python-coverage
package.

Robert Colins wrote that he sees it ok-ish if all of the OpenStack
projects makes it so that we could also use /usr/bin/python-coverage.
What is the view of others in the project? Could the path be checked,
and then used, so that it works in every cases? Of course, the goal
would be to avoid "by hand" patching in debian/patches whenever
possible, because this is a major pain.

Your thoughts?

Cheers,

Thomas Goirand (zigo)
