You might be right. I will write to the upstream about this. Thanks.

I think so. I've found some patches to face with Wayland and X11.

ok. I've just found my mistake. It was related with the format.

I'm guessing this will break for users running apps under Wayland
instead of X11. I think it would be best to remove "env
GDK_BACKEND=x11" so that Wayland works and the lintian warning goes
away.

In your opinion, is there a better way to do this? Can the ‘Exec’ value
be re-written so it detects correctly as a command provided by the
package?

You will need to show the content of that file before we can say what
might be wrong with it.

Maybe; with your knowledge as a maintainer of that package, you might
find a more suitable change that upstream can use.
