I also do like the virtual approach more than app-alternatives. Why
would someone want having installed both at the same time given that
uutils are meant to be a drop-in replacement?
I can image shell scripts in the wild which may change their behavior
unintentionally if some core commands are suddenly being replaced by a
symlink instead.
