And what happens if my WebApp package is named "doc"? Or "applnk"? Or
"keymaps" or "locale" or "pixmaps" or "zoneinfo"?
While /usr/share/* is not the world's most overloaded namespace, its
overloaded enough to cause me some concern, and if there are any
reasonable alternatives (and I think there are), I would recommend
using one instead.
