As I tried to express: I have no (I mean *really* no) idea about otb
just from packaging and in some cases (as I know now better not for otb)
a whole set of binaries is not  intended to be called by the users.
Meanwhile I learned from a user that this is not the case here and so
my suggestion was stupid.  Feel free to simply forget it.  Sorry for
creating confusion by making stupid suggestions.

I would be more interested in answers to the other parts of my mail and
the plan to move the package from UbuntuGIS to main Debian (to later
become a part of UbuntuGIS automatically via migration to Ubuntu.  We
discussed this strategy on the UbuntuGIS mailing list before and I hope
we could continue with this plan.

Kind regards

       Andreas.
