If there is a /bin/foo and /bin/.foo-real created by wrap-program, and 
we are to run another wrap-program phase, under what circumstances would 
it /not/ be a mistake to call (wrap-program "/bin/.foo-real") instead of 
(wrap-program "/bin/foo")? And if the first one was called, probably it 
was because find-files was used and the packager didn't realise it was 
happening, and therefore it will be double-wrapped, like gedit is.
