OK - after battling with the build system to try and get Hexter
installed back on the original /usr/lib/dssi path, I realised I was down
a blind alley and it still git not work. So I had to did a bit deeper
and discovered two things.

1. ubuntustudio-menu is installing a hexter.desktop file, so my changes
to the desktop file in the hexter package will be overridden anyway.

2. It is not the path that is wrong. The Exec line in the desktop file from the Debian hexter package does not work because the asterisk is not correctly expanded to the correct path. It needs to be executed via a shell command:
Exec=sh -c 'jack-dssi-host /usr/lib/*/dssi/hexter.so'

I will fix the Hexter desktop file via Debian & a sync, and drop the
Hexter desktop file from ubuntustudio-menu.

Title:
  Hexter sound generator dpesn't start from menu

Status in hexter package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in ubuntustudio-menu package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Ubuntu Studio 19.10

  Hexter is installed in a non-standard DSSI location and wont start.
  THe default jack-dssi locations don't include the hexter location. It
  needs to be moved to /usr/lib/dssi on install  or the path for the
  existing location, which is /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dssi, needs to
  be added to the default jack-dssi path.
