Trying to use find_path from a binary or library (passing a symbol to
identify the image) always returns "no such file or directory". This means
software needs to be special-cased for "installed"/"not installed" cases,
with no clear way on how to handle the latter.
I'm not sure what the proper path to return would be, however. Maybe one
of:
- Use system/non-packaged
- Use a path relative to the given image location (so the app can be
tested in its build directory)
