	JFTR: while the presence of a simple workaround indeed warrants
	lowering the severity of this issue, I believe that the problem
	being described shouldn't arise at all.

	Hence, either the Debian Live scripts should somehow set this
	variable by default, or the “relocation” logic is indeed patched
	out of the Debian vlc-nox package, for the sake of better Aufs
	(and thus Debian Live) compatibility.

	(To note is that vlc-nox upgrades from within the Debian Live
	environment seem much more likely than attempts to run the
	binaries provided by this Debian package off their usual
	filesystem location.)
