Hi! This package contains a script that directly accesses the dpkg internal database [S], instead of using the correct public interface «dpkg-query --listfiles». [S] xdg-desktop-entry-spec-sessions This a problem for multiple reasons. Even though the layout and format of the dpkg database is administrator friendly, and it's expected that those might need to mess with it, in case of emergency, this interface does not extend to other programs besides the dpkg suite of tools. The admindir can also be configured differently at dpkg build or run-time. And finally, the contents and its format, will be changing in the near future. Thanks, Guillem
