What is this standard? Note, that this does _not_ apply to Debian anyways.

If you place files into /usr/share, you have to use /usr/share/kde/

The FSSTND says that /usr/X11R6 is for "X and related files". Our current
interpretation to this is that all X related stuff (applications,
includes, libraries, etc.) go under /usr/X11R6.

I respect your own opinion, but we don't base any policy decisions on the
opinion of a single developer.

Currently, the correct location for the KDE files is /usr/X11R6. If you
disagree, please start a discussion about this on debian-policy.
