I thought it'd make your life easier when you update the package to a newer version ? ;-)
I'm not also sure about the police. Can someone else look into this please ?

dpkg -c jalali-calendar_1.6-1_i386.deb  |grep bin
drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2007-03-21 22:52 ./usr/bin/
drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2007-03-21 22:52 ./usr/sbin/

I couldn't find anything there ?
I didn't really check the build system. I'll do that tomorrow and see.

Cheers,
