Ah, cool, thanks for that explanation, I’m sure I could have pieced it 
together, but it’s nice seeing it all in one place.

Completely just curiosity on my part:  If the program name is left as amarok 
and the TDE version is in /opt/trinity/bin/ would that conflict with amarok 
(official/upstream? I’m not sure what that name is suppose to be.) 
in /usr/bin?  Or what happens when you have both:

/opt/trinity/bin/amarok
/usr/bin/amarok

as being from different packages?
