libtree, the name

Thanks for this software, it's nice. However, wouldn't you want to rename it to lddtree?
libletter names are usually for library software.
Hi Alex, thanks for taking this on :) lddtree is also an executable with similar functionality provided by pax-utils.
libtree appears as libtree-ldd in some distro's, see e.g. https://repology.org/project/libtree-ldd/versions, which I think is a fine name as well.
I don't think I could easily rename this since it's now known as such 🙃
oh and it's almost doing the same too:
root@sid:/# libtree /usr/bin/upx
/usr/bin/upx
├── libz.so.1 [ld.so.conf]
└── libucl.so.1 [ld.so.conf]
root@sid:/# lddtree /usr/bin/upx
upx => /usr/bin/upx (interpreter => /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2)
libucl.so.1 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libucl.so.1
libz.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libz.so.1
libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6
libm.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6
ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 => /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1
libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6
Yeah, but lddtree is quite slow
$ time lddtree /usr/bin/* > /dev/null
real 3m12.000s
$ time libtree -vv /usr/bin/* > /dev/null
real 0m0.169s
a lot faster if you have 6500+ binaries in /usr/bin, lddtree aborted after 18', libtree be done in 0.5"
should appear shortly at https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=libtree&suite=sid
Thanks! Does this mean it also appears in ubuntu / apt install?
