I don't think Catalyst took the right approach to this and I don't think we should copy them as you're suggesting. /usr/lib/anything is not the right place for templates (it may be the only path guaranteed at CPAN install-time). Templates should be installed into what FHS and the distro say is an appropriate place. Perhaps it can be figured out automatically for the major distros, but it's always possible for the install script to ask the user.
