Quoth the FHS2.2, section 4.11:
"Any program or package which contains or requires data that doesn't need to
be modified should store that data in /usr/share (or /usr/local/share, if
installed locally). It is recommended that a subdirectory be used in
/usr/share for this purpose."
Say, for example, wallpaper images, which are commonly stored in
/usr/share/wallpapers, in perfect compliance with the FHS.
In fact, we already have a package (kdewallpapers) that stores wallpapers in
/usr/share/wallpapers.

So... Having packages that are bug-free is bad in what way?
