Hello Chritopher,
thank you for spending your time helping to make Debian better with
this bug report.
Using an absolute path isn't system conform, breaks the library search
and does a lot of work on changes.
I'm sorry, I don't understand your reasoning.
What's not system conformant about searching in /usr/lib/argyll? This
is a standard pattern used by many other programs with optional
dynamically-loaded plugins.
It's true that this probably shouldn't go upstream as-is - it should
probably be reworked so that the plugin path is a configure-time option
- but that's not particularly relevant to Debian, where we'd always
define it to be /usr/lib/argyll.
My interpretation of policy is that I currently can't ship
libcolordcompat.so from colord in a way that can be used by argyll.
This is a plugin object for argyll, not something that should be in the
public linker path.
