No probs. To recreate;
1) Create package with <packagename>
2) Create a bash script to launch your binary with the name <packagename>
#!/bin/bash
love /usr/share/games/mrrescue/mrrescue.love
3) Create <packagename>.install file to copy your script into /usr/games;
debian/<scriptname> usr/games
4) Create rules file;
%:
dh $@ -Pdebian/<packagename>_build
(-P is used to remove conflict of tmpdir with <packagename>)
Result;
The debian/<packagename>_build dir will have your script placed in
/etc/init.d/<packagename>
Putting override_dh_installinit: in rules works around this and places
the script in /usr/games as requested by the .install file.
I have a guilty package exhibiting this behaviour currently on mentors;
