I sent an email to upstream and CC'd you on it.

Well, the only executable is /usr/lib/libvte9/gnome-pty-helper which
only has the following library dependencies:

        linux-vdso.so.1 =>  (0x00007fff27b2e000)
        libutil.so.1 => /lib/libutil.so.1 (0x00007f9faaaa9000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00007f9faa726000)
        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f9faacd4000)

So I didn't think there was a point to building two versions as it
doesn't depend on vte itself.  And thus, I felt like it should live
apart from the library in bin package.
