Huh.  Add/Remove programs didn't show it, but Synaptic does, and more.
I wonder why.

Oh, and can I bitch once more about programs that refuse to tell you
their true name?  It's like witchcraft.  They don't want you to have
that power over them.  Add/Remove Programs doesn't even tell you what
the name of the command you're running is called in the help file.
