Package: xmcd
Version: 2.6-17
Severity: minor

The xmcd package puts .xmcd_start into /usr/bin

-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 1663 May 31  2003 /usr/bin/.xmcd_start

1. Why is the file named _._xmcd_start at all ?
2. Dotfiles do not belong into /usr/bin, and trigger the suspicion
   that this might be a file from a rootkit.

Please remove the dot from the beginning of the filename.

Thank you.
