I agree that given that Ubuntu has made this rather poor decision, we're only left with this inelegant way forward to unify the packages again. Obviously we cannot have this changed for Squeeze anymore, so it'll have to be postponed for a bit. > But this won't work automatically if plugins are installed in libs/plugins/. > You will have to add a preinst snippet that moves files around... /usr/share is the domain of the packaging system. So if there's anything in libs/plugins, that is installed by another package and we should rather not be moving that around in preinst. Those packages should be updated instead, no? You indicate this already for smarty-gettext and smarty-validate. Cheers, Thijs
