Thanks, now I understand it in technical perspective .
But I probably will not install binaries like `if, exec, wait` to
default PATH(like /usr/bin). Although I understand this is possible
technically(and currently no other programs claim these names).
The actual reason is that I can't afford time to argue with other
developers. When I ask on debian-devel list, at least someone is
object to this[1]. I'd to admit that I'm not good at argument. The
simple solution I see is to put notes in the debian package.
