Should we perhaps take this opportunity to move the grass libraries to
default library search paths as raised on the debian-gis list?

I vote yes. I think the reasons to do this are no longer valid. Doing it
the standard way seems to me to be the best way forward. Any
suggestions/PRs?
Not using --prefix=/usr/lib will violate FHS, so not an option for the
Debian package.
Using --prefix now results in every file from GRASS being installed into
--prefix, so I assume the current --prefix behavior is wrong from Debian
perspective, yes? Any suggestions on correct behavior?
The 8.x prefix behavior is no different from 7.x.
If we want to stop using --prefix=/usr/lib and have FHS complianance
while also having the shared libraries in the default library search
path several changes in GRASS will be required.
The resulting structure should result in something like:
/etc/grass configuration files
/usr/bin executables
/usr/lib shared libraries
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/grass python package
/usr/libexec/grass executable helpers
/usr/share/grass architecture independent files
/usr/share/man manual pages
This assumes that the grass shared libraries should not be considered
private which does seem to be the case with their use by libgdal-grass
being the exception.
Alternatively the GRASS executables need to have RPATH set, e.g. with:
-Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib/grass80/lib
To remove the need for changing the library search path. This is the
road of least resistance.
Kind Regards,
Bas
