Well, I would agree to tolerating /usr/lib/<package>/ (Which btw is the
current defacto rule in Fedora practice) but would disagree otherwise,
because
- /usr/share (aka datadir) is reserved for "arch-independent data", i.e.
should not contain executables and programs.
- /usr/lib (according to the GNU coding standards) should not contain
programs.
- $(libdir)/<package>/ basically is a package's private play-ground and
therefore may also contain programs and scripts.
ok.
<sigh/> some people seem to need written rules for everything, for what
generations of people before them took for granted ;)

We should at least document exceptions to best practices so we can
confine them in a small corner. :)
