    There are 10 types of people in this
    world:
    those who understand binary, and those who don't.

    Ervin, do you remember why that was done? Afaict without "Exec",
    the
    program won't be launched. (But I'm not a .desktop user)

    this was the lintian tag why I removed the Exec:

    https://lintian.debian.org/tags/command-in-menu-file-and-desktop-file

    Now I remember when I prepared this package, I had a Debian SID
    desktop (in a VM), and I played with that. First I tryed to
    remove the d/menu as the lintian page proposes, but then the
    installer didn't create any menu entry.

    In next days, I'l install a Debian SID and a testing desktop
    systems, and will try to play on them again.

    you can check the Debian specific patches: http://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/t/twclock/twclock_3.5-1.debian.tar.xz

    and if you think some of them should be merged into your source
    tree.


    Debian Bullseye (and later distributions) have a newer version of
    autoconf (2.71). With this I get some obsolote notices:

    configure.ac:7: warning: The macro `AC_CONFIG_HEADER' is obsolete. configure.ac:7: You should run autoupdate.
    ./lib/autoconf/status.m4:719: AC_CONFIG_HEADER is expanded from... configure.ac:7: the top level

    Also would be fine to fix them.
