So, the first change of the path happened by accident, when I bumped the debhelper compat level to 8. It changed from /usr/lib/<pkgname> to /usr/lib/<multiarch> Simon made a follow-up upload and changed it to /usr/lib. I would have preferred if it was changed back to /usr/lib/<pkgname>. One reason is, that I don't like executable directly in $libdir, the other is, that I wanted to avoid unnecessary churn and last, it's inconsistent with other packages I maintain. So, I'm inclined to make (yet) another upload to put the binary back to /usr/lib/<pkgname> and also adding -OnlyShowIn=XFCE;Unity; +OnlyShowIn=XFCE;Unity;X-Cinnamon; Does that look correct (expecially the X- prefix) and is this what you would prefer? -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
