Yep, which is how I actually packaged it. Maybe the 1st sentence in
section 6.1 of the policy is a little bit too strictly formulated...
Thtat's enough for me to know - however, there are still two things I
don't understand fully...
1st, there seem to be a lot of programs in /usr/bin that are actually
programs using the "X Windows System":
$ orlok: /mnt/debian-unstable/usr/bin
$ absurd? find . -type f -exec /tmp/checkx11 {} \; 2>/dev/null | wc -l
105
2nd, if /usr/X11R6/man is used (instead of, for example,
/usr/share/X11R6/man), this implies to me that manual pages for X
programs are not shareable among (same versions of) the same OS.
Why should this be the case? I could not really find an explanation for
this in the FHS.
Thanks,
Stephan
