Why this package wraps Gety in a bubblewrap sandbox

The upstream .deb installs its helpers (deno, aria2c, mcp-proxy) into system /usr/bin, which we refuse to pollute.

They live in /usr/lib/Gety/bin instead; a read-only-root bwrap sandbox recreates the layout Gety expects via PATH + /usr/bin overlays.

  • Not a strong isolation boundary, Treat it as defense-in-depth, not a firewall.
  • Name stays -bin: if upstream ever fixes its packaging, the wrapper can simply go away.
