Re: ddd-3.3.8-1 packaging error

This is just a note to Harold so he can correct this error for his next
ddd release (whenever that is).  Ddd is an X11 app, so it should be
rooted in /usr/X11R6 rather than /usr.

I don't know if it is an error so much as something that I have been struggling with. There is a general consensus in the X community that /usr/X11R6 needs to just go away. I am trying to put as few new things there as necessary (if a package can be used at all without X, then it doesn't need to be there, IMHO). Now, the real question is whether I made a conscious decision to root the package in /usr versus just forgetting to change it to /usr/X11R6? I can't recall doing either of these... so I really can't say if I was being strong minded or forgetful :)
