please make yarnpkg the only binary yarn installs in /usr/bin

Re. #1305, please note that we can't create an official Debian package that installs a /usr/bin/yarn binary, because there is already one such binary in Debian: https://packages.debian.org/search?suite=sid&searchon=contents&keywords=yarn

For details, please see the discussion in the RFP here: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=843021

I see yarn already installs a /usr/bin/yarnpkg binary, can you just drop the /usr/bin/yarn one ?

As yarn is quite young (only 3 weeks have passed from the announcement on 2016-10-11) by renaming it now you'll hurt only the early adopters, and make it much easier for everybody in the medium term.

Also note that the name "yarn" conflicts with Hadoop YARN and with several other projects called "yarn" on github. You might as well rename the tool altogether, perhaps to yarnpkg as the main website ...

If you take no action, since on Debian and its derivatives we'll not ship your /usr/bin/yarn, users will have to invoke it in a different way w.r.t. other OSs, i.e. yarnpkg; if they'll invoke yarn, something different will happen ! Although this can be documented, it is certainly confusing.

Thanks, Paolo

We don't have any intentions of using the yarnpkg binary as the sole one. There's prior art here with Node.js using node instead of nodejs even though there's already a Debian package called node. See #673 for more information.
