I don't think so, especially with a plural "commands" after.
Googlefight agrees with me ("use the usual commands" => 350 results,
"use usual commands" => 4900), but that's not a proof. Perhaps a
native speaker could help?
As I pointed out in a previous comment to the series this sort of
debug code should either be converted to use "test" or we should
incorporate it into test-lib.sh and use it everywhere.

I somewhat like the latter. It's sometimes hard to see what's going
wrong with our tests. It'd also translate to TAP subtests.
I'll do both: use test -f in a first patch, and propose alternative in
the second. New patch serie follows.

I don't know TAP and TAP subtests, but if the functions exist, other
patches can be added on top to improve them.
