/usr/lib vs /usr/libexec
It seems that Red Hat has a lot of programs under /usr/libexec that are
under /usr/lib in Debian. One example is /usr/lib/postfix
vs /usr/libexec/postfix.
It seems to me that /usr/libexec is a better name for such things, and having
the same directory names used across distributions provides real benefits
(copying config files and binaries from other distributions when a bug stops
a server working and it's REALLY important to get it fixed fast).
Should we change some of these to /usr/libexec?
