Agreed - we can't take the stance of "follow Fedora as we're using
rpm" as we're also using dpkg (and Debian's policy is different to
Fedora's in almost point where FHS is vague) *and* opkg (which doesn't
have a native distro in that sense).  In the area of libexec and
multilib there is no consensus at the moment.
