Michael,

             Frankly who gives a rat's ass about your opinion on Debian's
policy? YOU broke the damn entrance: Just shut the fuck up and face it you
freaking moron. Don't give us the shit of "I know it all". Be humble like
everybody else on this list. We're tired of your unnecessary ramblings and
moanings on the list. You like to make a *show* out of every single issue.

Well, for whatever reason, it worked fine for me even though it didn't
work for you.  So apparently not all systems need it.  Don't ask me to
explain why; I'm just telling you it didn't seem to be necessary for
me.

For some people, yes, apparently I did.  My bad.

Or just fix the path in the source.

Yes, and a lot of apps clutter up /etc with top-level config files (or
even commands!) instead of following proper guidelines.  I'll agree
that /sbin is wrong for internal binaries.  And if there was already a
/usr/lib/entrance hierarchy for other things, fine.  But that's not
the case, so /usr/libexec (which is specifically intended for internal
executables) is the ideal choice.

I didn't say I didn't care about standards.  I don't care about Debian
policy because that's a packaging issue, not an upstream application
issue.  But I do care about the FHS, which is why /usr/libexec makes
the most sense. :)
