Debian package (compressonatorcli_4.5.52_amd64.deb) places binaries in /usr, not /usr/bin (and possibly other things should be in /usr/share/doc/compressonatorcli/ , /usr/lib?)

Installing the deb package from compressonatorcli_4.5.52_amd64.deb from releases results in

• shell script compressonatorcli
• binary compressonatorcli-bin

.. being in /usr/, not in /usr/bin. So this is quite non-standard :), and makes them not on $PATH .

$ sudo apt install ~/Downloads/compressonatorcli_4.5.52_amd64.deb

$ dpkg -L compressonatorcli
/usr
/usr/compressonatorcli
/usr/compressonatorcli-bin
...

$ ls -Flah /usr/
total 3,9M
drwxr-xr-x  20 root root 4,0K cze   3 22:55 ./
drwxr-xr-x  24 root root 4,0K wrz  27  2025 ../
drwxr-xr-x   2 root root 116K cze   3 20:28 bin/
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root root 1,5K sty  30  2024 compressonatorcli*
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root root 3,6M sty  30  2024 compressonatorcli-bin*
....

From a quick glance at dpkg -L compressonatorcli, maybe other files should also be in subdirectories following conventions and Filesystem Hierarchy Standard.

• /usr/documents -> should better go to /usr/share/doc/compressonatorcli/
• /usr/license/license.txt -> also to /usr/share/doc/compressonatorcli/license.txt ?
• /usr/images -> it seems these are just examples, so sthg like /usr/share/doc/compressonatorcli/example-images/
• /usr/pkglibs -> /usr/lib ?
• /usr/qt.conf -> unsure, is this necessary at all in this package?
