The former.

After I left my request, I extracted your deb on my laptop. I decided to copy your binaries to /opt/local/bin, put links in /usr/local/bin, and put /usr/local/bin at the front of my path. So I'm good even if the conflicts with busybox get resolved.

It seems to me the g prefix is the way to go and that /etc/alternatives allow the traditional names to be used for improvements over official versions.

I may do a coreutils package this week, prefacing all the binaries with "g", which I heard is a convention somewherez.
Well, having a diff where vim can find it allows very fancy color diffing, which was among the reasons I have been looking for an n900 diff.

Thanks for making the diff suite available for maemo 5.
