I understand the reasons why Bookworm's binary must have the
unconventional long name "com.github.babluboy.bookworm" name, given
several language ecosystems insist on encoding the component's Web
locations as part of their names. However, on a Debian system, we have
grown used to just "apt install pkgname" and expect to find a
"pkgname" binary to launch it with.

Could you provide a symlink named /usr/bin/bookworm to
/usr/bin/com.github.babluboy.bookworm for it to be more easy to
launch?

Of course, the patch is trivial, but provided nevertheless:

diff --git a/debian/bookworm.links b/debian/bookworm.links

Thanks!
