The install target appears to be dropping /usr for this particular file
on sid, but rebuilding the same sources on stretch /usr is included...


This suggests a deeper problem, such as something in the build process
ignoring CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX ... but can be worked around in the
package:

diff --git a/debian/tigervnc-xorg-extension.install b/debian/tigervnc-xorg-extension.install
index 8d6fffa..f74dabd 100644
--- a/debian/tigervnc-xorg-extension.install
+++ b/debian/tigervnc-xorg-extension.install
@@ -1 +1 @@
-usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libvnc.so usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions
+lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libvnc.so usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions


I've only test that the package successfully builds with this patch; I
haven't tested that it actually works.


live well,
