Dear Maintainer,

paprefs won't find modules in /usr/lib/pulse-15.0+dfsg1. It is looking in
/usr/lib/pulse-15.0 instead. Symlinking the former to the latter works around
the issue.

This leads to paprefs being basically unusable because the checkboxes are all
greyed out.

Just took over paprefs. Yes this is an issue.
You can fix it for now by adding a symbolic link, but yuck.

Open to suggestions.

(Maybe these bugs should be merged)

I've issued merge requests on salsa to the pulseaudio package that
addresses this issue. All it does is install the modules in
/usr/lib/pulse-MAJOR.MINOR/modules/. Using that small fix, paprefs is
not grayed out anymore.
