Looking at the changes in the libmbim upload for Focal I noticed that mbim-proxy was moved from /usr/lib/libmbim/ to /usr/libexec/. This ends up moving a binary that is not included in $PATH and is installed by default on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS afaict. I don't know how many people would have scripts expecting libmbim to be in /usr/lib/libmbim/ but I don't think changing it out from under them is great. Could we patch the package so it exists in both places?
libmbim (1.22.0-2.2) unstable; urgency=medium
* Non-maintainer upload.
* Bump debhelper to 12, no further changes
* Bump Standards-Version to 4.5.0 (no further changes)
* Move mbim-proxy to /usr/libexec (Closes: #954145)
