Dear Maintainer,
In Ubuntu, I've noticed that gummi tries to ship locale files in
the /usr/@DATADIRNAME@ directory, litterally.
Now, I haven't done much background investigation on this, and I suspect
it is failing in Ubuntu and not currently happening in Debian because of a
difference in the toolchain package versions.
What happens precisely is that rather than correctly replacing @DATADIRNAME@
with 'share', the value is kept unreplaced. It should be sufficient to replace
uses of $(prefix)/$(DATADIRNAME) with $(datadir).
In any case, I'm including a patch for your convenience, since I expect some
time in the future gummi may catch the same issue in Debian.
If such an occurence does happen, you'll notice lintian warnings too:
W: gummi: non-standard-dir-in-usr usr/@DATADIRNAME@/
W: gummi: file-in-unusual-dir usr/@DATADIRNAME@/locale/ar/LC_MESSAGES/gummi.mo

In Ubuntu, the attached patch was applied to achieve the following:
* debian/patches/upgrade_datadir.patch: replace outdated uses of
$(DATADIRNAME) with $(datadir).
Thanks for considering the patch.
