Quote from LSB Chapter 4.1: "Large Software packages must not use
a direct subdirectory under /usr". This is soft wording as you can
always begin to discuss what is "Large".
On the other hand, your posting made me double check with the sample
implementation and I found out, that the minimal-runtime part of the
sample implementation uses
/usr/lib/lsb/ and
/lib/lsb/
_Bummer_
So we have to decide between two locations and I would say both
are ok from a technical point of view (Experts cry now, please!).
So we should perhaps use the more LSB aware locations /usr/lib/lsb/
and/or /lib/lsb/.
The minimal runtime part of the sample
implementation does this.
