Its not 1-1 so this is going to fry some bash scripts and install scripts. At work we had to stop using Ubuntu because of a couple of bad installs via this change. Debian is just as good so its fine.
I have no opinions on the rewrite, but I wish they made a flavor or something just for this.

I had a problem literally today because some script was relying on a particular behaviour of dirname that was handled differently between uutils and GNU. It’s been fixed already in a newer version than the one I had, but it took me a long time to figure out what the heck was going on, because finding a missing expectation in a nested shell script is tough… It was just mysteriously doing the wrong thing.

Before reading your comment I forgot we use Ubuntu at work too. I guess time for the transition.
