I think it's very uncommon. I only heard of it by typing "package"
without having autopackage installed. Ubuntu displays a message then
in by which package this command is available.

You're right, there's no user which is running into this problem
afaik. But maybe the fix would be for reasons of precaution only.

I'm also saying this, as the new stub.4.template is directly calling
"package install <myself>" if autopackage 1.4 is installed. That's
another reason, why I would change the name now, before 1.4.

What do you think of 'apkg'? If that name is okay, I can commit a
patch tomorrow.
