I've been preparing Debian packages for hal-dccm recently, and I have
some queries:

synce-hal produces four executables: hal-dccm, synce-serial-chat,
hal-synce-rndis and hal-synce-serial. All four of these are installed
into $prefix/libexec, which is bad for Debian. I see in your synce-hal
package you've installed the hal-synce-* files into /usr/lib/hal/, but
I'm unsure as to the proper location of the others.

So, why did you install the four executables into $libexecdir? Do any of
the executables require root? My understanding is that the hal-synce-*
scripts will be called by hal upon a device connection, so they'll be
run as root, and therefore so will hal-dccm and synce-serial-start, but
I could be wrong.. Therefore I am emailing just to be clear, so I don't
screw up the package.

Many thanks,
