It actually wouldn't have worked anyway, because `which` uses PATH,
and in PATH /usr/bin normally comes before /bin. The package was built
in a non-merged-usr env by the maintainer, and worked fine, then it
failed when built in the buildd environment, which had been already
migrated to merged-usr. The migration of the builders to merged-usr
has apparently been reverted (see an email in debian-devel yesterday).
