Hi Manos,

Thanks for caring about this downstream packaging of your project!

Yes (I didn't file this bug, but agree with its severity)

*and* the Debian packaging routines combined.

Failure in access rights related to XDG_DATA_DIR is most often related
to the intentionally restricted setup of automated build daemons in
Debian, where the default $HOME directory is not writable.

If that is the cause here, then it is not a bug in the dependency, but
instead a bug in the Debian packaging of the project, which needs to
setup a writable XDG_DATA_DIR if truly needed by the project or its
dependencies.
