I think that only one or two packages in the archive so far depend (upstream) on ruby-launchy, and they have been patched to use xdg-open. It is currently used only to open a browser in a platform independent manner. Since we control pretty much the environment of systems where our packages are installed, I don't think it is much necessary, and would prefer the use of more standard tools, like xdg-open. There has been a discussion on ruby-launchy in March 2014, which lead to the same conclusion as above: https://lists.debian.org/debian-ruby/2014/03/msg00032.html Cheers, Cédric
