electron-installer-debian --src etcher-release/Etcher-linux-x64/ --dest etcher-release/debian/ --arch amd64
What did you expect to happen?
In the package that was created, /usr/share/ should only contain architecture interdependent files.

Installing the electron package to /usr/lib/<package> instead of /usr/share/<package> would be more appropriate.

Nothing dangerous. The only potential problem I see is that if another package (not created with
electron-installed-debian) has files at/usr/lib/<package>, then packages that are created withelectron-installer-debianwill fail to install because of conflicting files.Yup, sounds pretty clear. Any dangerous side effects you can think of? If not, feel free to create a PR and I’ll merge it.
