I think we are talking about /usr/lib, not /usr/lib/$PACKAGE (?). On my Ubuntu system /usr/lib already has some binaries, although some might be just for backward compatibility: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 2011-07-30 02:02 /usr/lib/sftp-server -> openssh/sftp-server* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 2011-10-07 15:20 /usr/lib/sendmail -> ../sbin/sendmail* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2532 2011-09-22 22:35 /usr/lib/command-not-found* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 10528 2011-03-18 05:09 /usr/lib/e2initrd_helper* -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 10592 2011-10-05 07:58 /usr/lib/pt_chown* /usr/lib has so many files, maybe there might be performance reasons for splitting it up, depending on what filesystem you have? -- Brian May <br...@microcomaustralia.com.au> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
