Are you talking about all the dlls being located in /usr/lib? Looks like
just configuring with --libdir=/usr/lib/assemblies or a similar directory
will do the trick. I'll experiment with this. 

I think we should raise this issue in the mono-devel list again. I looked at
the archives and the issue came up more than a year back without a clear cut
answer. /usr/share/assemblies was propped up as a potential candidate, but
it appears that some assemblies _are_ platform specific. May be we need both
/usr/share/assemblies (for arch independent) and /usr/lib/assemblies for
platform specific stuff. Let's raise this in the mono-devel list so that
this gets fixed properly for all distros.

I saw that. I agree with your decisions; I see no need for a separate
libmint package but would like to see mint in Debian.
