Dear Denis,

Your bug reflects a bigger problem with Salomé, which is namespace
collisions with a potentially large group of packages.  Denis Barbier
noted this in a post to the ITP bug [1].

[1] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=457075#365

I'm testing a solution using bindir=/usr/lib/salome/bin
libdir=/usr/lib/salome/lib (Salomé's defaults are /usr/bin/salome
and /usr/lib/salome which don't follow Debian's convention).  Right now
the package keeps runSalome and killSalome in /usr/bin .  Unfortunately
this will likely require the use of rpath to get to the libs, this is
frowned upon in general in Debian.

The question is: what other binaries are meant for users to run
directly, instead of being run by Salomé?  And what libraries are meant
to be linked by other packages, instead of just by the Salomé binaries?

-Adam
