Why does the Debian Lenny git package not install git

debian-lennygit

If I run the following command on Debian Lenny:

apt-get install git

… I'm unable to use git:

# git --version
bash: git: command not found

The package you most likely want is git-core.

(Works just fine without adding an extra repository.)

Update: This has now been fixed; in squeeze and beyond the git package is now called git.
