I don't know if we decided to ditch PartiView or not. It is going to be

One problem, other than the source not being available, is that the data
files need to be in the same directory as the executable. This will
totally violate FHS.
Here I think we definitely shouldn't include the app because it violates the FHS. I think that's a pragmatic rather than a philosophical reason, since the FHS is one of the main reasons we have a hope of making our ISO portable between distros.
