I don't believe a debian maintainer would say something that idiotic. Many 
not-so-big packages will be using pkg*dir to install their files in (For ro 
files, libraries and such) as advised in GNU coding standards.

Yes. But using subdirs is required when there are too many files rather than 
the total size of files exceeding a threshold.
