Hello Wesley,
sorry for not replying to your earlier email, somehow I missed it.

First of all, there is no /usr/lib/res and /usr/lib/resources; I guess
you mean /usr/lib/googleearth/res and /usr/lib/googleearth/resources.
Yes, of course, you're correct.
Second, I'm not sure why this would be useful. For things
under /usr/lib/googleearth that are just used internally by the program,
I'm not really interested in imposing a different structure with
symlinks since it already works and meets the FHS.
If I was an upstream developer, or if Google Earth had source code, I'd
agree to change this to be prettier; but as it is, I want to keep this
packaging script as simple as possible. But hey, if you have a better
reason other than asthetics, I'd love to hear it. =)
The reason is that as it is you waste 5.8M of disk space - or stated
differently - replacing it with a symlink would save everybody's HD and
the net 5.8M of unnecessary ressources:
$ du -s -h /usr/lib/googleearth/res/
5.8M /usr/lib/googleearth/res/
An idea would be to forward this upstream, so that they fix it.
