Your changes also violate the FHS, as the system libraries should be in
/lib.

There is currently no way to do a plain amd64 distribution without
violating the FHS. So I don't really want to make changes that probably
have side effects just for violating the FHS another way.
My opinion is that the FHS should be changed. Unfortunately nobody seems
to read the FHS mailing list...

Agreed.
