GNU project stuff also uses libexec (by default; I don't know if that
location gets overridden in debian builds).  E.g., if you build your own
emacs, notice it installs various helper programs in
/usr/local/libexec/emacs/...

I don't know if there's an argument for it other than clarity and warm
fuzzies.  [I personally think that if a good idea is "against the FHS",
the right answer is to change the FHS.]
