you would only want them if you already know you need them.
I think is the same question of "/usr/share vs /usr/libexec" and also
vs /usr/lib
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2015-April/210148.html
if are binaries /usr/libexec , if lot of stuff /usr/share/ (and not
only binaries)
I wonder if people have opinions on the best way to package
these. It
seems to me the options are:
(1) Put them in %{_bindir} as they are. Likely a bad idea.
(2) Put them in some other binary directory. Not sure which though,
maybe %{_libdir}/%{name}/ ?
(3) Rename them and put them in %{_bindir}. This is technically
difficult, because the binaries have manual pages which would all
have
to be patched to refer to the new names.
