Yeah, but I don't like it more because I *really* don't trust package
maintainers to understand the difference between .pc files that need to
go in /usr/lib{,64} versus /usr/share. (Since this is a multilib setup,
the first two are intentionally different.) Only .pc files whose
packages contain no architecture-specific files should use /usr/share,
and I don't exactly trust the maintainers to follow that.
So I have a root-owned /usr/share/pkgconfig directory, that none of the
package users have permission to write to. I override anything that
tries, to force it into the proper /usr/lib* variant depending on
whether I just built it for 32-bit or 64-bit.

That one *sounds* architecture-dependent, though I could be wrong.

Not sure on xorg-macros, but I think that one might be as well.
As for the rest, stuff like shared-mime-info (being data only) is
probably OK there, but I'd still rather be sure, on my own system.
No real need to override udev in the book though, I suppose.
