I've spent a few hours reviewing the package carefully; here are the few
things we'll need at this point for the software to be in an appropriate
form for inclusion in the Ubuntu partner archive:

- ship a sysv init script in /etc/init.d/ (which should work both for 15.10 and 
all the way to 14.04)
- ship all files in their paths under /opt/ibm/pm; except for PMLinux.cfg which 
should be under /etc/opt/ibm/pm, and /var/opt/ibm/pm/daily and 
/var/opt/ibm/pm/tmp for temporary/log files.
- the scripts ending in .PMLnx can be trivially changed to replace all 
occurences of "/var/perf/pm" with "/opt/ibm/pm" (the change also should happen 
in PMLinux.cfg).

We also don't appear to need the preinst, prerm, postrm files; since
running verify.PMLnx or uninstall.PMLnx cause incompatible paths to be
added on the filesystem, or crontab to be changed, which aren't
allowable as per the packaging policy.
