I don't understand why it would be "overkill". Are you saying people
would complain because you installed a 25 kB executable that they might
not want to use? Just for fun I checked /usr/bin and noticed that I
have a "pandoc" executable, weighing 17 MB, that I have never used and I
have no idea what is it for.
