We have always suffered from this and still do in some recipes.

Changing {libdir}/${PN} to {libdir} will not change that.

I think the default assumption, that after -doc -locale, -dbg and
-dev, all files that are installed should end up in the main package.

My proposal is to ignore the recipe name (PN) during the packaging of
{libdir} and {datadir} by default, so that alternative recipes
(i.e. our approach to the USE flags) do not require special handling.

Correct. I just proposed to default to the {libdir} and {datadir} that
the package wants to install.
