The binaries are symlinked rather than installed directly to /usr/bin because they use RPATH to locate the bundled libraries. Everything else could be moved instead if that is preferable.

There's no equivalent in the AUR because kitty is in the official Arch repository.

That package doesn't have the same issue because it's building kitty from source.
Another solution is patching the binaries to modify their RPATH so they load the bundled libraries from a fixed path instead of $ORIGIN/../lib. Should I try that try that instead?

That would be nice. Really what I want is less symlinks and more just simple hard paths.

The RPATH approach is possible, but there are other hard-coded paths requiring multiple directories under /usr/lib to work: eg. /usr/lib/kitty, /usr/lib/kitty-bundled, /usr/lib/kitty-extensions. I got kitty working but kitten segfaults in this configuration for some reason.
Instead I pushed an intermediate solution that avoids symlinking anything except the binaries.
