the filesystem hierarchy standard[1]. it specifies very exactly where
each file of a package *has* to go. that keeps the system very clean.
redhat doesn't do that, so you'll have some packages in /usr, some in
/usr/local, some in /usr/lib, some in /usr/share, or even more exotic
names. the FHS is *strictly* enforced on all debian packages.
