/usr/{share/man,bin} vs /usr/X11R6/{man,bin} (policy 12.8.7)



Hi!

There is a package I adopted (bugsx), which uses Imake. However the
previous maintainer didn't use upstream makefile install{,.man} targets
(which put the binary and manpage in /usr/X11R6/{man,bin}), and instead
installed them manually into /usr/{share/man,bin}.

My question is: how to interpret policy section 12.8.7. Is to mean:

 "All packages using imake should puth files where imake-generated
 makefile would put them, period."

or

 "Everything should go to /usr/{bin,share/man}, but if your package uses
 imake, you're allowed to be lazy and leave it the old way".

regards,

Marcin
