Why is this filed as a serious bug? It causes harm (at least in theory,
if there are people who really share /usr/share with Debian) to have a
file incorrectly in /usr/share; it causes no harm to have a file
unnecessarily in /usr/lib. Is the severity anything more than pure
standards-lawyering?

To put it another way, we ought to have a pretty good non-theoretical
reason for every bug above important.

Cheers,
