Hi,
your package installs helper binaries that are currently located in
/usr/lib/NetworkManager.
Now that Debian policy allows to install such binaries into
/usr/libexec, it was requested in [1] that the network-manager package
is updated to use this location to align with other distros and avoid
unnecessary friction.
The network-manager package and the vpn packages maintained by the
pkg-utopia team have been updated accordingly.
For consistencies sake, please consider applying the attached patch,
which moves the helper binaries to /usr/libexec.
Thanks,
Michael
