Hi,
Though creating an entire package for a single symlink does seem rather
wasteful, there is one difference to `opendoas-sudo` -- `rofi` will
behave differently if `argv[0] == "dmenu"`; furthermore, the value of
this package isn't the symlink itself, it's the fact that this
`provides=("dmenu")`, and therefore will appease packages that depend on
`dmenu` when `rofi` is installed (which would, also, potentially
override any symlink the user has made in their `$HOME`).
I don't see the point of deleting a package that has seen some use in
the community, but perhaps there's a bigger picture that I don't really
see here.
Thanks,
Alex
