What is the benefit of a separate libexecdir? I am actually in favour of dropping libexecdir entirely, as I have trouble seeing what its benefits are. I also believe the distros should not distiungish themselves in this place, as there is no value in doing so here. I think the worst solution is to have each package be configured differently in this regard on the various distributions. Why do we have a separate libexecdir on Fedora, and why do we want to keep it even though everybody else uses libdir?
