Description:

Web files are installed to /usr/share/jellyfin-web instead of /usr/lib/jellyfin/jellyfin-web


Additional info:
* package version: jellyfin-{server,web} 10.8.10-3

Packager made the assumption of reading jellyfin.env provided by upstream and thinking the web app was to be installed to /usr/share.
This task depends upon

This file needs to be patched: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/blob/61155adecd8a69bb476487f9fc81175b0c4185b7/Jellyfin.Server/Helpers/StartupHelpers.cs#L117

Because storing architecture independent files in /usr/lib goes against the FHS.

Wouldn’t setting the `JELLYFIN_WEB_DIR` environment variable or using the `--webdir` flag be a better option?

No, because upstream is putting the files in the wrong place anyway.
