I've never built any rpm or deb package, but I imagine that one can
specify which files are to be present in the binary package. Therefore,
even if both binutils and egcs build and install c++filt using the
standard make and make install means, Redhat and Debian can cause only
one of the binary packages to contain c++filt.
That's at least my understanding of how things stand, please correct me if
I'm wrong.
