Then the guidelines should be fixed to create less confusion over the
matter.
Hear, hear! Really, it's the guidelines that make reviewers and packagers
come up with strange "solutions" such as these use of triggers.
Other packagers find themselves in a trap and create package dependency
bloat just to get the dir ownership "right". Even if they are unhappy with
the result.
E.g. seahorse-plugins requires gedit and epiphany. Hard to believe, but
it's true. :-/
