someone who isn't me sadly is a more likely candidate for knowing this, i
can only stab.

wait. suse? i thought we were talking about debian. the problem is every
distribution has its own set of paths and if you mix packages you'll be
sad. pick them from one source and you're at least likely to not lose.
