Do we want /usr/libexec ?
Some upstream packages place auxiliary executables (i.e., executables
which are not called by the user/sysadmin himself) into /usr/libexec or a
subdirectory.
Neither FSSTND nor FHS say anything about /usr/libexec. I think we should
say something in the policy manual about whether we like this directory or
not.
If we don't like /usr/libexec, there are two possibilities: such
executables can be placed in /usr/lib or in /usr/bin.
I'd like to hear some opinions on this to prepare something for the next
policy weekly.
Thanks,
Chris
