when I wrote ruby-launchy-shim, I did it because launchy itself had a lot of dependencies, and most if code, just to support other non-Debian systems. I don't remember exactly but there was probably other compliation that make it so it was easier for me to just write a shim that has the same API as the original package and does what is needed on Debian. I don't really care what happens; if you decide to drop it and replace with the real launchy, feel free to go ahead. Just note that there are a few packages that explicitly depend on -shim: $ reverse-depends ruby-launchy-shim Reverse-Depends * ruby-email-spec * ruby-letter-opener
