A general comment: Why doesn't Mandrake, when it's building a new version, does not use the default installation directories of each package? Because otherwise, when we reinstall it, we have a chance of ending up with two versions of the same files! -turgut

Mandrake strives to conform to the Linux Standards Base and has been LSB certified: http://www.mandrakesoft.com/company/community/mandrakesoftnews/news?n=/mandrakesoft/products/2381
The LSB specifies the Filesystem Hiearchy Standard as the authority for where files go: http://www.linuxbase.org/spec/refspecs/LSB_1.3.0/gLSB/gLSB/execenvfhs.html

The standards allow for some options and are somewhat open to interpretation. Different software authors might have different interpretations, implement options differently, or lack compliance with these standards.
