New comment by F0Xde on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/31079#issuecomment-846599278 Comment: We could, but having two installed binaries is potentially confusing and I don't think that such an opinionated decision is meant to be done by the packaging system. Users that really want the data directory `~/.multimc` can easily create this wrapper script themself. But I agree, maybe there should be some kind of warning issued about this change (don't know if / how that would be possible though). Edit: The problem with keeping the script for compatibility is that without any additional information this will probably just create more confusion than actually helping people, and at some point it should definitely be removed, which would still be a breaking change and possibly unexpected by the users.
