There should be a simple `which' script in miscutils, which invokes bash's `type -p'. `which' is not just used by people, it is also a very useful command in scripts, and it seems silly to use a bash-ism when so many systems have a perfectly good `which' command. > See `/usr/doc/bug-reporting.txt' for how to report bugs. I've reported this as a bug (as readers of debian-devel will see).
