According to the specifications, the binary should be included in the same package as the .desktop and the AppStream metadata.
Therefore, unless there is a good reason otherwise, it would be better for the vlc-bin package to be dropped and its contents moved to the vlc package. (There are rare exceptions to this policy.) Would someone be willing to file a bug against the vlc package in Debian for this issue?
