Title:
  Upstream 'column' is newer than bsdmainutils'

Status in util-linux package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  The 'column' program included in upstream util-linux
  (https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/util-linux/util-
  linux.git/tree/text-utils/column.c) is newer than the included in the
  bsdmainutil package
  (https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/bsdmainutils/bsdmainutils.git/tree/usr.bin/column/column.c).
  However, debian/rules from util-linux package states the opposite, and
  therefore Ubuntu now is using 'column' from bsdmainutils instead of
  the util-linux one.
