[bug#47508] [PATCH] gnu: add instead

[Leo Prikler]

merge 46378 47508
thanks

Hi,

as you can see, there does exist prior work on the packaging of
instead.  Dmitry's patch also includes a search path among other
things, but there were some setbacks, that are discussed over there. 
Work on that patch seems to have come to a halt, but it would be great
if you could try to see what could be salvaged from it.

Regards,
Leo
