Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We acknowledge your concern regarding the use of hardcoded paths in Debian packages. This practice is not uncommon in Debian packages. For instance, nginx default configs are under /etc/nginx, see source here. Although Nginx does provide an optional to configure default location, it is only for users who are building from source. Therefore, we do not see a need to modify the behavior for bor or heimdall package at this time.

To address your concern, we will provide an additional step in ansible playbook, where it asks users if they prefer using a different location for binaries/config files, and move or modify files accordingly.

thank you for the response. Most likely people who use ansible would prefer script to build just actual client and have it started using systemctl service files instead and possible configurations as flags.
