Before 0.10, the upstream installed both the binaries (actually shell
scripts) and the shell libraries in /usr/bin. Starting with 0.10,
the shell libraries are moved to /usr/lib/cogito.
Correct, except that it should be /usr/share/cogito/.
Thanks for packaging this.

I packaged the current release of celestia (1.3.2). Version 1.3.0 which is
