hi folks,

new adequate maintainer here. thanks for filing the bug and for looking into it.

I think that either case could be made as to whether this is a bug in adequate
or in wmaker (imho the Debian policy is open to interpretation in this regard).
arguably, adequate is being rather pedantic by requiring that the registered
program be included in the binary itself, rather than via a direct dependency of
the binary. on the other hand, I see no practical value to ship /usr/bin/wmaker
in wmaker-common, given that /usr/bin/wmaker is:

- a wrapper around an executable in wmaker
- a 2 kb script so it really doesn't matter whether we ship it separately for
  every arch

Doug, would be okay with moving /usr/bin/wmaker from wmaker-common to wmaker?
that'd also allow you to drop the no-manual-page lintian override in
wmaker-common (currently needed b/c the script is in wmaker-common but wmaker(1)
in the wmaker package)

thanks,
Serafeim
