your package installs the filename brltty to both bin and sbin as opposed to just one of those locations.
I haven't checked yet, but are these two versions of file:brltty actually the same?
This causes a problem on a filesystem layout where bin and sbin are merged into a single real directory, typically by sbin being a symlink to bin. Such a filesystem layout has become standard on some distributions now, and others are moving onto in their next releases.
Sure. But in Debian we're not there yet. And given the merged-/usr mess [1], we'll might not adventure there soon. And hopefully not with a symlink.
Please pick one location and install it only there. /usr/bin is preferred over any other location.
Suggesting a move from /bin to /usr/bin is not without danger, exactly because of the very similar merged-/usr transition that's currently being clean-up. There's the danger that files get lost upon upgrade (P1 in [1]) if this is done incorrectly.
