alt Hacker News> Yeah the name collision is unfortunate, but probably fine. The name Biff was just too good to pass up.
So if I do an "apt install biff" on Debian (or Ubuntu) what will happen?

If I type in "biff" on a Debian CLI, what should I expect the behaviour of the program that is executed to be? Will it be something about mail or time?

I know that if you want `fd` (https://github.com/sharkdp/fd) you need to `apt install fd-find` and which installs the binary `fdfind` (!).

I honestly don't know. Which is... Not Great.
Per Debian policy and precedence of the email notification utility, you'll install biff, the command-line email notification utility:
