Package: ring-daemon Version: 20160720.3.73cfbb9~dfsg1-2 Severity: serious
The /usr/sbin/dring in the ring-daemon package seem to be placed in the wrong directory. The program is started by the ring GUI tool when a user starts the Ring client, and thus is not a tool intended for sbin, as specified by FHS[1] refered from Debian Policy[2]: Utilities used for system administration (and other root-only commands) are stored in /sbin, /usr/sbin, and /usr/local/sbin. /sbin contains binaries essential for booting, restoring, recovering, and/or repairing the system in addition to the binaries in /bin. [18] Programs executed after /usr is known to be mounted (when there are no problems) are generally placed into /usr/sbin. Locally-installed system administration programs should be placed into /usr/local/sbin. If it is supposed to be called directly by users, I suspect it belong in /usr/bin/. If not, it probably belong in /usr/lib/ring/ or similar. Setting severity to serious, as this issue is about breaking the requirement in the Debian policy section 9.1.1.
