The mirror package applies some patches during postinst to conform with
the license.
Wouldn't it be better to ship the "source" in /usr/share/mirror/source/,
copy these to /var/lib/mirror/ during postinst and apply the patch there
and ship symlinks to /var/lib/mirror/* in /usr/bin, /usr/share/mirror?

swi-prolog-nox_5.10.4-3
/usr/lib/swi-prolog/library/INDEX.pl
xine-ui_0.99.7-1
/var/lib/xine/xine.desktop
These seem to be some state/registry/... files that are updated during
postinst.
What should we do with these? Unfortunately I didn't find a policy
reference that forbids this ...
