Can you please elaborate here? londonlaw installs two user issued commands under /usr/games: /usr/games/london-client and .../london-server.

After having spoken to him in person at debconf this year, I can assure you that this is not the case. -- Gruesse/greetings, Reinhard Tartler, KeyID 945348A4
