From looking at the report I take it that the installer fails to add shortcuts 
if it is built with the patched packages from us. Weird. This code was not 
touched at all, if this is true it must be a pretty wild side effect. Debian 
has updated NSIS with patches in NSIS upstream in the meantime. We'll test / 
try using that for our next release. I'll also test if there is a problem 
with shortcuts with our installer. I really can't see how my patches could 
cause that though 8-)

Happy Holidays,
Andre
