Program 'which' is deprecated. Please use instead 'command -v'
which is a builtin function of the shell (dash, bash).

 you can simply create a symlink, e. g. by:
 
 .ce
-ln \-s `which backup2l` /etc/cron.daily/zz\-backup2l
+ln \-s `command \-v backup2l` /etc/cron.daily/zz\-backup2l
 
 The "zz\-" prefix causes the backup job to be the last one executed, so that other jobs are not delayed
 if the backup takes somewhat longer. The status output is e\-mailed to root by the cron daemon.
