Dear Maintainer,

your package installs various files directly into /. For the
ongoing Debian UsrMerge effort [1] these files should move to
/usr in the trixie cycle.

I'm attaching a patch to implement that.
**However:**

1. At the time of writing, moves are paused. Thus I've tagged
   this bug "moreinfo". Please see the wiki [1] if/when moves are
   resumed.

2. Please upload to experimental first. Then "dumat" gets a chance
   to check your new package (my patch), if it might cause
   unforeseen problems.

3. The patch might not work on unmerged systems. However since
   Debian bookworm, the "/usr-merged state" is the only supported
   state, and the usrmerge (| usr-is-merged) package is pseudo-
   essential.

If during the trixie cycle your package will undergo structural
changes or any other file moves, please see the wiki and upload
to experimental first when these changes are done.

Thank you for considering,
Chris
