Public bug reported:

The Nim package in Ubuntu 25.10 is missing the `compiler` directory from
`/usr/lib/nim/`, which contains essential compiler sources required for
building tools and packages.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Install Nim from Ubuntu repositories: `sudo apt install nim`
2. Attempt to build the Atlas tool: `nimble install 
https://github.com/nim-lang/atlas`
3. Build fails with error: "Error: cannot open file: compiler/ast"

Expected behavior:
The `compiler` directory should be included in the installation as it is 
required for building core Nim tools like Atlas and certain packages that 
depend on compiler internals.

Currently, users must either manually clone the Nim repository to obtain
the compiler directory or use alternative installation methods.

** Affects: nim (Ubuntu)
