[Debian GNUstep maintainers] Window Maker and GNUstep directory

Hello!
Currently, the Debian Window Maker package installs WPrefs.app, its GUI
configuration tool, in
/usr/share/lib/GNUstep/System/Applications/WPrefs.app. This directory
includes both the binary itself and various arch-independent image files.
This seems completely incorrect -- both because of the "/usr/share/lib"
combination and also because I can find no other packages in Debian
which install anything to */GNUstep/System/*.
I have a couple questions:
* Is it even appropriate for WPrefs.app to be installed in the GNUstep
directory in the first place, as it's not really a GNUstep application?
(It's written using the WINGs library, which literally stands for "WINGs
Is Not GNUstep.")
* If it is appropriate to install WPrefs.app into the GNUstep directory,
then what would be the most appropriate path? Based on other GNUstep
packages, it seems like perhaps
/usr/lib/GNUstep/Applications/WPrefs.app
for arch-dependent files and
/usr/share/GNUstep/WPrefs.app
for arch-independent ones. Is this correct?
(Please CC any replies to the pkg-wmaker-devel list.)
Thank you!
Doug
