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.

It updates the compat level to 13 as well, to get a $libexecdir which is
set to /usr/libexec (and makes minimal changes to get the package build
with compat level 13).

Thanks a lot! My key in Debian's keyring expired, hence I'm waiting for
a keyring update so if you want to get this out of the way and NMU then
just go ahead.

Ok, will do.


I hope this is ok with you?
If you want to review the changes, I can push them to a MR first.
Please let me know, what you prefer.

Regards,
Michael

Given the package is under the "debian" group, I will mark that as a team upload and include a couple of other packaging updates, like moving the D-Bus policy file to /usr, bumping the compat level and so on.
