The key thing about the categories idea is that distro maintainers can define the mappings that make sense for packages built and installed for their policies. E.g. most Linux distros would probably have some FHS mapping. So the package would only claim files are of a certain category, and where that actually ends up depends on what environment the package is installed into, e.g. Debian, Fedora, MacPorts, virtualenv, etc. -Barry
