Yes, these executables are integral to the operation of Pyinstaller. PyInstaller bundles a Python application and all its dependencies into a single package. The bootloaders are used as part of this bundling. https://pyinstaller.org/en/stable/ Regarding upstream, they are very responsive and I have a wonderful relationship with them. However, I felt it was appropriate to ask here first to make sure I knew what the standard Debian practice was before I contacted them. Unless there is some strong recommendation that these executables need to be moved to /usr/libexec/, I am inclined to leave them where they are. -- Soren Stoutner [email protected]
