Well, the first option is still a no-no, as the fixup has to happen in
the user's home directory. For the second one, I think I'd need to add
something like "Requires: zenity", which in turn would pull in other
dependencies.

After discussing with upstream, I am going to add a symlink for now
and they're going to take care of things programmatically in a
subsequent update.
