Of course yes. As a GNOME Debian packager you need to read and mearn the
Debian GNOME policy :

http://alioth.debian.org/docman/view.php/1316/18/gnome-policy-20030502-1.html

,----
| Panel Applets
| 
| TODO: Panel applets -- "gnome-applet-foo" or "foo-applet" or "gnome-foo-applet"?
| 
| Panel applets must be installed into /usr/lib/gnome-panel as they are never directly executabled by the user. This applies to both shared library and executable panel applets. TODO: Or should they go into /usr/share/gnome-applets? 
`----

If you disagree with this policy then orphan your package.
