Package: pixelmed-www
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 9.1.1

Dear Maintainer,

the package pixelmed-www unpacks these files directly under the / root
directory:
/webstart/DicomCleanerUsage.html
/webstart/DicomImageViewerUsage.html
/webstart/DoseUtilityUsage.html

This is definitely the wrong location for those files, and likely
violates debian policy §9.1.1 [1] "The location of all files and
directories must comply with the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS),
version 3.0, [...]" and FHS [2]. It is however definitely the wrong
location for the .desktop entry, and does not function as intended.
