I think that deciding where to install a package based on its manpage section could be backwards, but projects should include installers too instead of leaving distros to figure it out. I opened https://github.com/christgau/wsdd/issues/198 to request that the manpage be moved to section 1. While you originally packaged wsdd for Samba servers, I expect that it will actually be used by far more people who are not running Samba servers now that gvfs-daemons recommends it. I don't think it is necessary or helpful at all to have wsdd additionally in /usr/sbin/ . Arch Linux and Fedora package it as /usr/bin/wsdd . I am unaware of any Debian package that has a symlink /usr/bin/foo to /usr/sbin/foo (or the reverse). https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/wsdd/blob/rawhide/f/wsdd.spec#_36 https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=wsdd#n25 Thank you, Jeremy Bícha
