Debian bundler prefix installation directory
How can we change the prefix directory for the debian bundler? There are no bundle arguments for it, nor do I find a way to set it in the control file.

With the RPM bundler we can set prefix in the project-name.spec
The command dpkg-deb gets the directory structure
/tmp/fxbundler/images/linux-deb.image/application-1.0.0/opt/application/
Is it the plugin or the javapackager who creates this and copies the files? If it is the latter, I don't think there is much we can do about it.
The folder-name /tmp/fxbundler/images/linux-deb.image is hard-coded inside the javapackager/bundler itself, where is not much I'm aware of to change this. But I do not see the actual problem here, what do you need to rename, and why?
The DEB installer puts my application under /opt/application, wheres my RPM puts my application under /opt/company/application. The RPM directory is set through the Prefix in its SPEC file.
The DEB control file has no such parameter for setting the installation directory (could not find one).

I have a workaround for now, not using the plugin to package DEB, but the ospackage plugin.
I wasn't aware of this different behavior ... sounds interesting :) the "bundler-prefix" is internally something different, that's what confused me on the first thought.
