You failed to mention why that tool should be available under /usr/bin?
It should not really be run manually. We have a file trigger which is
run when needed.
The existence of a man page is certainly not a good enough justification
for that.

Have you checked closely enough?
libgtk2.0-bin and libgtk-3-bin already provide such a symlink.


Unless you can provide a solid reason why gtk-query-immodules-* needs to
be available in /usr/bin, I'm inclined to simply close this bug report.

Cheers,
Michael
