Why not put them under /usr/lib/$packagename/*?

I have only seen one argument against this proposal, and that was of
(unverified) performance issues.

If a given file system does have performance problems with /usr/lib,
isn't the correct solution to fix the file system?

Disclaimer: I don't care too much either way. It is perhaps worth
noting that a package I maintain does use /usr/lib/$packagename/* for
inetd servers, and this reduces file conflicts with other packages.
