Yeah, unfortunately they had to rename the bat binary.

This is documented in the Ubuntu ChangeLog, the package description, the list of files and the README.Debian file:

bat for Debian
==============

In this package the executable and its manpage have been
renamed from ‘bat’ to ‘batcat’ because of a file name clash
with another Debian paclage.

Just a note, at least in Ubuntu 20.04, the new executable is 'batcat', not 'batbat' as mentioned in the README above. A small typo :)

[sharkdp]

uh, yes. that has to be fixed in the Debian package.

@sharkdp , can you edit your first comment? It would save people the "try and error" until they read eugeneromero's comment with the right name.
