Hi, 

I started working on a debian-package. The application uses the Qt-Library as 
basis (no KDE). During startup, the application looks in a directory 
"/usr/etc/settings/" for system-wide settings for the application. This is 
not coded inside the application, but a feature of the Qt-Library.

If I try to include a configfile in this directory, lintian complains about 
this with several errors and warnings. 

I need the configfile there in order to set some system-wide settings that are 
required to run the application. Without them, every user will need to do 
manual configuration when starting the application.

My question therefore: Is this a case where lintian should allow an exception, 
because I have no other way of telling the Qt-Library to search in a 
different directory? Or is it simply not possible? 

Dominik.
