Title:
  util-linux no longer provides ddate

Status in “util-linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Having just upgraded to 12.04, I was dismayed to discover that ddate
  is longer present on my system.  In previous releases it was provided
  by util-linux, and according to the online man page
  (http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/man1/ddate.1.html) it is
  still supposed to be provided.  However:

  lesslie@hal:~> ddate
  No command 'ddate' found, did you mean:
   Command 'hdate' from package 'libhdate1' (main)
   Command 'sdate' from package 'sdate' (universe)
   Command 'rdate' from package 'rdate' (main)
   Command 'idate' from package 'itools' (universe)
   Command 'date' from package 'coreutils' (main)
  ddate: command not found

  System information below.

  lesslie@hal:~> lsb_release -rd
  Description:	Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
  Release:	12.04

  What happened instead: ddate is not available on my system
