IMHO, it's generally ok if a package places arch-indep files into
/usr/share instead of /usr/lib, unless this introduces incompatibilities
with other packages.
As the current emacs package installs its libs into
/usr/lib/emacs/19.34/..., will moving this below /usr/share break other
packages?
The use of /usr/libexec is currently under discussion on debian-policy.
Please wait a few more days until we've decided of how to treat this
directory.
(For all that have missed the previous announcement: Debian 2.0 will use
FSSTND and we are expecting to switch over to FHS for Debian 2.1.)
Thanks,
Chris
