    Package: exmh
    Version: 1:2.5-1.3
    Severity: minor

    Running lintian v1.22.8.1 on exmh_2.5-1.1_all.deb (recently submitted to
    sarge) produces the following copious output:

    Much of this would be simply resolved by moving the installation directory
    from /usr/lib/exmh to /usr/share/exmh, and by moving the various executables
    in /usr/share/doc/exmh to /usr/share/doc/exmh/examples. The remaining fixes seem equally trivial.
