>From the diverse input, wouldn't it be more logical to do the following:
1) All "contrib" packages write in /$objtype/bin, /rc/bin and /sys/man
(or /man, see 3).
2) It's up the user to "bind -c" in /$objtype/bin, /rc/bin and
/sys/man so that written files end where he wants. Depending on who
installs, so depending on the namespace, all flavors can be achieved
(system wide or individual).
3) Shouldn't /man and /rc/bin be, as /bin, "empty unwritable directories,
place holders", with an initial bind(1) (without "-c"; probably
$objtype agnostic either, since almost all programs are supposed to
exist in an $objtype flavor for man, and should not be a concern for rc)
of /sys/man and (new) /sys/rc/bin there?
Note: in this scheme /rc/bin is more a mean (an undirection) so that rc
programs end in the correct place than something usefull at use time,
since it ends probably bind'ed in /bin.
