Logically, they are a single file since you have to have a precisely
matched pair generated in the same run of GreenCard. (The view that
they are logically two parts of the same thing is what prompted the
rule that they had to come from exactly the same directory as each
other.) That "single file" is architecture dependent so "it" should go
in /usr/lib/blah.
Also (ie if you don't buy this interpretation), I think the FHS
requires that all files in /usr/share/blah to be architecture
independent but I don't think it requires all architecture independent
code to go in /usr/share/blah.

I think it still does. I doubt that anyone still has GreenCard 1 code
lying around though.
