Anomalies in the official Celestia 1.5.0 for OS X

I noticed some anomalies with the official installation of Celestia 1.5.0 for OS X, from the official web page (http://www.celestiaproject.net/celestia/download.html) :
1- There's this useless file called "flare.jpg", in the textures folder. Unless I'm wong, it isn't used anymore by Celestia 1.5.0 and should be removed.
2- The .dmg file brings a virtual disk on the desktop without a folder containing the application itself and all the ressources files, which makes things more complicated for the new user. Currently, all the files are scattered freely inside the virtual disk, and the user need to create a new folder (on his desktop, say), and to copy all the files in it. The .dmg behavior isn't the same as for Celestia 1.4.1 (which was creating the Celestia folder directly on the desktop, instead of mounting an annoying virtual disk).
3- There's a file called "guide.cel" which isn't used by the OS X version. This file should be removed from the installer.
4- The demo script should be located inside the scripts folder. I don't see the point of letting this script where it is right now (in the ressources folder).
5- Why is there a "test" folder (containing two useless scripts), inside the scripts folder ? I can't see the purposes of this directory.
