Great to hear.
I have yet to give it a shot.

I think this is due to the way in which GTM has traditionally
been organized.
Bhaskar, Amul, please correct me if I'm wrong...
All the files are installed in /usr/lib/fis-gtm/VERSION
Including executables.
I'm not sure how difficult it would be to move the executables
to /usr/bin, given that GTM scripts and executables already
expect to find things in /usr/lib/fis-gtm.
Bhaskar, Amul: could you please comment on this?

mm, I'll have to track this tomorrow morning.
We were getting some Lintian warnings, but
they were not as many as 267. I'll run a fresh
build and will report back tomorrow.

Agree.
BTW, How about lintian warnings,
would that also be a showstopper ?
