correct

just to make it even clearer: if package provides a tiny script that
uses library, it should go to DPMT. If package provides an app and a
tiny library (I'm thinking about real library, not just those where
maintainer forgot to set --install-lib correctly and installs app into
dist-packages) - it's a PAPT candidate.

--install-lib is the main difference between DPMT and PAPT. There are
different set of problems when you install into dist-packages and outside
this directory.
