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.
While at it, I took the liberty to disable static libraries and stop
installing libtool .la files. Those are only useful if you build public
system libraries, which is not the case here.
Dropping those unnecessary files will significantly reduce the size of
the package.
Thanks,
Michael
