I thought you had got over the problem that Barry is addressing. That was the debian/source/format:3.0 (quilt) was it not? No-one has replied to my suggestion that the answer to the path problem is to install the s/w in /opt and put a link to the program in /usr/bin/. That is the way that teamviewer does it, for example $ ls /opt/teamviewer9/ config doc logfiles tv_bin $ ls -l /usr/bin/teamviewer lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 41 Sep 4 2014 /usr/bin/teamviewer -> /opt/teamviewer9/tv_bin/script/teamviewer The question is whether that satisfies the rules or not.
