This and the other changes that are not normally good for NMU is
because I was overstepping my bounds a bit since I have a prior
relationship with the maintainer (we co-maintain librecad and qcad). I
know his been busy and a little bit out of it, so I thought I could do
him a favor for now. I'll happy to shrink it down to the minimum for
now and work with to do a non-NMU for the rest of this stuff later.

For now I have no problem shrinking it down and taking care of the
rest at a later time. Would adding a dependency on python-support (to
fix the lintian error) be appropriate in this NMU or should I stick to
just RC bugs?

typo, it's actually in /usr/lib, changed from /usr/lib64

Fixing two RC bugs that are older than 7 days, thus the short delay
and high urgency. from devref ยง5.11.1 and [1]
[1] http://upsilon.cc/~zack/hacking/debian/rcbw/


I'll cancel the deferred upload and do another one now that is just
the RC bugs and tell Reuben about the other stuff later.
