Yes, it turns this from a technical issue (package the app, and make
sure it meets packaging standards) into a much more difficult "how to
keep everyone happy" political issue!

I'll see if I can diff this over the coming weekend, unless someone else
does it first :)

Another backup plan might be to create a "libviewnior" package with the
modified library in it, and then a viewnior package that depends on it
and uses it instead of gtkimageview??  But I don't know if Debian would
like/accept that as an approach.
