implementing FHS would take time, but recommending /usr/share, with
compat links, for all new uploads will make things even better IMHO.

Yes, it is FSSTND compliant, as long as there are links to all dirs
under /usr/share, and that no app uses /usr/share directly.

How do you understand that ?

Should I set up /usr/lib/kbd/* links to /usr/share/ again ?
