Bug Description

According to the behaviour of command-not-found, it seems to be reserved only to be used by the shell handler and not directly by users.
Thus, command-not-found can be considered as an internal executable and, accordind to the FHS, executables which are not invoked directly are located in /usr/lib.
And /usr/bin contains commands usable by users, so IMHO it is not the good location for command-not-found executable. I think it should be put in a directory /usr/lib/command-not-found.

It seems also messy that /etc/bash_command_not_found is where it is, I would have found something like /etc/command_not_found/bash better. Is it used at all? Its contents are duplicated in /etc/bash.bashrc.

Yeah i think that bash_command_not_found is not needed since it was integrated (abit with a bug ;-) into bash.bashrc.
I'll stop installing bash_command_not_found and move it to another location for gutsy.
